Applying just the first patch series (plus the patch hunk from this commit needed so that the first patch compiles) does not result in a crash, so the problem is clearly with this change. Looking more closely at ext4/052 which tests the large_dir feature, and then looking at the patch, I suspect the fix which is needed is: > + ext4_lblk_t blocks[EXT4_HTREE_LEVEL]; needs to be ext4_lblk_t blocks[EXT4_HTREE_LEVEL + 1]; Otherwise on large htree which is 3 levels deep, this > + blocks[++level] = block; is going to end up smashing the stack. Jan, do you agree? - Ted
