Subject: [bug report] ext4: fix race when reusing xattr blocks

[ This code is above my pay grade.  The cache is refcounted so it might
not be freed.  But hopefully the patch is recent enough that the details
are still top of the head for you to review it quickly?  Hopefully, no
big deal if it's a false positive.  These reports are one time only.

Hello Jan Kara,

The patch 132991ed2882: "ext4: fix race when reusing xattr blocks"
