o it was writing on a buffer without waiting read I/O completation
(like ext2)

o it wasn't checking the read for the partial-write case
made the buffer uptodate before continuing

The fix is been tested heavily and it's been reported to me to fix the
reproducible fs corruption. Please include it in the future 2.2.14 (or let
me know).
