Andreas, 

besides that, there is also the locking issue, that is not gone away. In
a fast look into the code, I realized that ext3_group_extend is only
called by either fs/super.c or fs/ext3/ioctl.c. Since the problem arises
from a mount call (as do_remount_sb already holds the lock), and
changing that would be a little vfs-intrusive, I think that the best
solution is to remove the lock code from ext3_group_extend, and get
it before its call in ioctl. This way, the whole ext3_group_extend
would be called with the super block lock held.

What do you think?
