Subject: [PATCH 0/2] ext4/jbd2: misc 3.17 bugfixes, part 2

Hi all,

Here are two more patches against 3.17-rc4 to fix some minor problems
in jbd2 and ext4.  Neither of these two depend on each other; they fix
separate small bugs.

The first patch teaches ext4 to check the e_value_offs value in the
extended attribute data structure to avoid data corruption and
kernel crashes resulting from the corruption.  This fixes the crash I
alluded to in the previous 3.17 bugfixes email pile.

The second patch fixes a bh leak in the journal replay code when a
descriptor block fails checksum verification.

Patches are against 3.17-rc4, and have been xfstest'd.

Comments and questions are, as always, welcome.
