[PATCH Xenial 00/11] CVE-2015-8952

[Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo]

Besides the patches that introduce mbcache2 and use it on ext2 and ext4, some
followups that are referred in some of the CVE links were backported as well.

I have tested a xattr stress tool without the patches, which caused hangs. With
the patches, no hangs were seen, and the system was stable during the tests.

Andreas Gruenbacher (3):
  ext4: kill ext4_mballoc_ready
  mbcache: get rid of _e_hash_list_head
  mbcache: add reusable flag to cache entries

Jan Kara (8):
  mbcache2: reimplement mbcache
  ext2: convert to mbcache2
  ext4: convert to mbcache2
  mbcache2: limit cache size
  mbcache2: Use referenced bit instead of LRU
  ext4: shortcut setting of xattr to the same value
  mbcache: remove mbcache
  mbcache2: rename to mbcache
