ocfs2: should wait dio before inode lock in ocfs2_setattr()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
we should wait dio requests to finish before inode lock in
ocfs2_setattr(), otherwise the following deadlock will happen:

process 1                  process 2                    process 3
truncate file 'A'          end_io of writing file 'A'   receiving the bast messages
ocfs2_setattr
 ocfs2_inode_lock_tracker
  ocfs2_inode_lock_full
 inode_dio_wait
  __inode_dio_wait
  -->waiting for all dio
  requests finish

                               flag to be cleared, that is waiting
                               for 'process 1' unlocking the inode lock
                           inode_dio_end
                           -->here dec the i_dio_count, but will never
                           be called, so a deadlock happened.
