> During an online resize, reading s_groups_count and s_blockfile_groups

> Replace the historical smp_wmb()/smp_rmb() pairs with smp_store_release()
> and smp_load_acquire(). This formalizes the publish-subscribe pattern
> and allows weakly-ordered architectures (e.g., arm64) to utilize native
> STLR/LDAR instructions instead of full DMB fences.

> Update the documentation in resize.c and ext4.h accordingly.
