Subject: [PATCH] ext4: iterate over buffer heads correctly in
move_extent_per_page()

In commit bcff24887d00 ("ext4: don't read blocks from disk after extents being swapped") bh is not updated correctly in the for loop and wrong data has been written to disk. generic/324 catches this on sub-page block size ext4.

Fixes bcff24887d00 ("ext4: don't read blocks from disk after extentsbeing swapped")

4.5 kernel has this patch already, so this failure is expected.

But 4.4 stable needs it as well, and the patch should be applied cleanly. Can you please consider adding commit 6ffe77bad545 ("ext4:
iterate over buffer heads correctly in move_extent_per_page()") to 4.4 stable tree?
