Andrew,
Resending a patch with a separate helper as requested by Al Viro:
This patch fixes illegal __GFP_FS allocation inside ext3
transaction in ext3_symlink().
Such allocation may re-enter ext3 code from
try_to_free_pages. But JBD/ext3 code keeps a pointer to current
journal handle in task_struct and, hence, is not reentrable.
This bug led to "Assertion failure in journal_dirty_metadata()" messages.

s/GFP_KERNEL/0/; if somebody has e.g. GFP_NOFS in their mapping flags,
you end up breaking their code. We really pass extra flags to be added
to default ones; page_symlink() should pass 0.
