Theodore Ts'o c755e25135 ext4: fix deadlock between inline_data and ext4_expand_extra_isize_ea()
The xattr_sem deadlock problems fixed in commit 2e81a4eeed: "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 2e81a4eeed.

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:

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
