This patch improves ext3's ability to deal with corruption on-disk. If we try to delete a metadata block twice, we confuse ext3's internal revoke error-checking, resulting in a BUG(). But this can occur in practice due to a corrupt indirect block, so we should attempt to fail gracefully. Downgrade the assert failure to a JH_EXPECT_BH failure, and return EIO when it occurs. This is easily reproduced with a sample ext3 fs image containing an inode which references the same indirect block more than once. Deleting that inode will BUG() an unfixed kernel with: Assertion failure in journal_revoke() at fs/jbd/revoke.c:379: "!buffer_revoked(bh)" With the fix, ext3 recovers gracefully.
