Now ext2 mkwrite delay allocate new blocks. So there maybe allocate blocks when
do write back. However, there is no concurrent protection between
ext2_xattr_set() and do_writepages().
To solve about issue hold '&ei->truncate_mutex' lock when new block for xattr.

Thanks for the patch! I agree the handling of reservation window and its
use for block allocation needs to be protected by ei->i_truncate_mutex.
However in this particular case of xattr allocation where we want to
allocate just one block which is completely independent of file data, I'd
rather choose to make ext2_new_blocks() ignore the reservation window (set
my_rsv to NULL). There's already a logic at the beginning of
ext2_new_blocks() deciding whether to use the reservation window or not and
we could extend it - probably by adding flags argument to it a introducing
a NORESERVE flag.

Also as a preparatory patch, I'd just remove ext2_new_block() and opencode
it in the xattr code since it has only that one user anyway.

Thanks for your suggestion. I will send new version according to your suggestion.
