ext4: fix potential race between online resizing and write operations
commit
8c7a15eb431d39411e4f7a82e0549d711b75af77 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.
