Protect all superblock modifications (including checksum computation) with a superblock buffer lock. That way we are sure computed checksum matches current superblock contents (a mismatch could cause checksum failures in nojournal mode or if an unjournalled superblock update races with a journalled one). Also we avoid modifying superblock contents while it is being written out (which can cause DIF/DIX failures if we are running in nojournal mode).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
