Subject: Re: [ 51/58] GFS2: Get a block reservation before resizing a file

----- Original Message -----
| 3.7-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me
| know.

| ------------------
| 
| From: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@...hat.com>
| 
| commit d2b47cfb26fe06002b8011707baac71a9ae8166f upstream.
| 
| This patch allocates a block reservation structure before growing
| or shrinking a file. Without this structure, the grow or shink code
| can reference the bad pointer.
