For the reiserfs I've missed some locks.
It seems that reiserfs uses its own 'reiserfs_sb_info->lock' (reiserfs
super block data) to serialize writers in all the ioctl, even the GET
(readers) ioctl operations. But I also know that the VFS layer uses i_mutex
to protect inode changes, so ? I'm not sure, If I can test it I'll send a
patch.

Here's the tested ext2 patch, thanks.

From: Djalal Harouni <tixxdz@xxxxxxxxxx>
ext2: protect inode changes in the SETVERSION and SETFLAGS ioctls
Unlock mutex after i_flags and i_ctime updates in the EXT2_IOC_SETFLAGS
ioctl.
Use i_mutex in the EXT2_IOC_SETVERSION ioctl to protect i_ctime and
i_generation updates and make the ioctl consistent since i_mutex is
also used in other places to protect timestamps and inode changes.
