In ext4_ext_convert_to_initialized before we need to request for journal write access before we even modify the extent length.
This isn't a grammatically correct sentence, and it doesn't explain what is going on. I rewrote the patch description as follows: ext4: Get journal write access before modifying the extent tree When the user was writing into an unitialized extent, ext4_ext_convert_to_initialize() was not requesting journal write access before it started to modify the extent tree. Fix this oversight. - Ted
