3.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@xxxxxxxxxx> 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.
