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. --D
