Subject: Which newer kernel is OK with ext4?

Hello,
I need to switch to a newer kernel than 3.16.0-4.
But since the new ext4 is not finished yet, I'm concerned
about the safety of the data on my ext4-hd.
I don't know how the ext4-inclusion-policy-into-the-kernel is,
maybe one of you can enlighten me. I mean, the old (ie. the current)
ext4 seems to be ok, and I would not want to risk the data to a new,
but unfinished, ext4-module in a newer kernel.
Is there maybe a kernel-switch to use the old ext4 module?
Can I safely install the "stable 4.0.4" kernel from www.kernel.org?

Thx
