alex chen 44ec0aecc7 ocfs2: should wait dio before inode lock in ocfs2_setattr()
commit 28f5a8a7c033cbf3e32277f4cc9c6afd74f05300 upstream.

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

                                                         dlm_do_local_bast
                                                          ocfs2_blocking_ast
                                                           ocfs2_generic_handle_bast
                                                            set OCFS2_LOCK_BLOCKED flag
                        dio_end_io
                         dio_bio_end_aio
                          dio_complete
                           ocfs2_dio_end_io
                            ocfs2_dio_end_io_write
                             ocfs2_inode_lock
                              __ocfs2_cluster_lock
                               ocfs2_wait_for_mask
                               -->waiting for OCFS2_LOCK_BLOCKED
                               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.

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.
