A small ext3 update. It fixes a few hard-to-hit but potentially serious problems. The patch is against 2.4.18-pre3, and is also applicable to 2.4.17.

0.9.17 12 Jan 2002 -------------------
- Cleanup from Manfred Spraul which provides better randomisation of inode generation numbers.
- A locking fix which prevents possible panics when an application is using ioctl(FIBMAP) against a loaded filesystem.
- Buffer locking fix for journal descriptor buffers - fixes the "end_request: buffer-list destroyed" crash which can occur under heavy VM load.
- Fix a buffer locking problem which could cause corruption if a process is reading from the underlying block device while journal recovery is in progress.
