[PATCH 3.18.y 1/5] ext4: fix deadlock between inline_data and ext4_expand_extra_isize_ea()

[Harsh Shandilya <harsh@prjkt.io>]

From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

commit c755e251357a0cee0679081f08c3f4ba797a8009 upstream.

The xattr_sem deadlock problems fixed in commit 2e81a4eeedca: "ext4:
avoid deadlock when expanding inode size" didn't include the use of
xattr_sem in fs/ext4/inline.c.  With the addition of project quota
which added a new extra inode field, this exposed deadlocks in the
inline_data code similar to the ones fixed by 2e81a4eeedca.

The deadlock can be reproduced via:

   dmesg -n 7
   mke2fs -t ext4 -O inline_data -Fq -I 256 /dev/vdc 32768
   mount -t ext4 -o debug_want_extra_isize=24 /dev/vdc /vdc
   mkdir /vdc/a
   umount /vdc
   mount -t ext4 /dev/vdc /vdc
   echo foo > /vdc/a/foo

and looks like this:
