[PATCH v2 0/3] ext4: Add support for mounted updates to the superblock via an ioctl

From: Theodore Ts'o via B4 Relay <devnull+tytso.mit.edu@kernel.org>
Date: 2025-09-17 03:23:17
Also in: b4-sent, linux-ext4, stable

This patch series enables a future version of tune2fs to be able to
modify certain parts of the ext4 superblock without to write to the
block device.

The first patch fixes a potential buffer overrun caused by a
maliciously moified superblock.  The second patch adds support for
32-bit uid and gid's which can have access to the reserved blocks pool.
The last patch adds the ioctl's which will be used by tune2fs.
