[PATCH 4/6 v7] ext4: Lock i_mutex for punch hole

From: Allison Henderson <hidden>
Date: 2011-08-31 00:26:42
Subsystem: ext4 file system, filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), the rest · Maintainers: "Theodore Ts'o", Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Linus Torvalds

This patch modifies the fallocate routine to lock i_mutex during
the punch hole operation.

Yongqiang noticed that the vfs layer locks i_mutex for truncate,
but not fallocate, so the fallocate routine will need to take
care of locking i_mutex.  Otherwise a page may be mapped after
punch hole has released the pages, but before i_data_sem is
locked to release the blocks in the extent tree.
