Hi,

I believe the following patch in the GIT - 2.6.17-rc5 is not correct:

http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=75616cf9854b83eb83a968b1338ae0ee11c9673c

It is the second of the two patches contributed by Leonid Ananiev. This 
one incorrectly adds the super block unlocking in the error path, though. 
As we can see in the function ext3_group_add() the unlock is already 
handled at the label 'exit_journal' for all error paths.
Below is the patch that should be unrolled.

Thanks,

Jan
