Currenty EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT is very dangerous call because anyone who
has write perm is able to call it and trigger kernel panic. Even more
all kernel since v2.6.30-6558-g748de67 are affected, so current
Debian and Redhat server solutions are dangerous.

Tests are available here:

Or here:

288'th test

This patchset attempt to close all known bugs, so it survived after
all tests i know.
