[PATCH 4.4 02/72] ext4: fix potential race between online resizing and write operations

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

commit 1d0c3924a92e69bfa91163bda83c12a994b4d106 upstream.

During an online resize an array of pointers to buffer heads gets
replaced so it can get enlarged.  If there is a racing block
allocation or deallocation which uses the old array, and the old array
has gotten reused this can lead to a GPF or some other random kernel
memory getting modified.
