2.6.32-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
commit 515f41c33a9d44a964264c9511ad2c869af1fac3 upstream (as of v2.6.33-rc3)
This fixes a bug (found by Curt Wohlgemuth) in which new blocks
returned from an extent created with ext4_ext_zeroout() can have dirty
metadata still associated with them.
