  ext4: avoid deadlock when expanding inode size (2016-08-11 12:38:55 -0400)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Fix bugs that could cause kernel deadlocks or file system corruption
while moving xattrs to expand the extended inode.  Also add some
sanity checks to the block group descriptors to make sure we don't end
up overwriting the superblock.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Jan Kara (4):
      ext4: fix xattr shifting when expanding inodes
      ext4: fix xattr shifting when expanding inodes part 2
      ext4: properly align shifted xattrs when expanding inodes

Theodore Ts'o (2):
      ext4: reserve xattr index for the Hurd
      ext4: validate that metadata blocks do not overlap superblock
