Subject: [PATCH 1/4] ext4: fix potential use after free during resize V2
Date: Tue,  2 Dec 2014 15:00:51 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1417518054-21733-1-git-send-email-dmonakhov@openvz.org> (raw)

We need some sort of synchronization while updating ->s_group_desc
because there are a lot of users which can access old ->s_group_desc
array after it was released.

changes from V1:
  - use RCU instead seqcount
