  commit fdfe073987619ec375da8d8a2701ab271d1b1339
  Author: Dmitry Monakhov <dmonakhov@openvz.org>
  Date:   Tue Dec 2 16:09:16 2014 -0500
  
      ext4: fix potential use after free during resize
      
      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.
