From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@xxxxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== commit 0d612fb570b71ea2e49554a770cff4c489018b2c upstream. Jan Kara reported that log recovery was finding buffers with invalid types in them. This should not happen, and indicates a bug in the logging of buffers. To catch this, add asserts to the buffer formatting code to ensure that the buffer type is in range when the transaction is committed. We don't set a type on buffers being marked stale - they are not going to get replayed, the format item exists only for recovery to be able to prevent replay of the buffer, so the type does not matter. Hence that needs special casing here.
