Hugh Dickins 509f006932 shmem: fix quota lock nesting in huge hole handling
i_pages lock nests inside i_lock, but shmem_charge() and shmem_uncharge()
were being called from THP splitting or collapsing while i_pages lock was
held, and now go on to call dquot_alloc_block_nodirty() which takes
i_lock to update i_blocks.

We may well want to take i_lock out of this path later, in the non-quota
case even if it's left in the quota case (or perhaps use i_lock instead
of shmem's info->lock throughout); but don't get into that at this time.

Move the shmem_charge() and shmem_uncharge() calls out from under i_pages
lock, accounting the full batch of holes in a single call.

Still pass the pages argument to shmem_uncharge(), but it happens now to
be unused: shmem_recalc_inode() is designed to account for clean pages
freed behind shmem's back, so it gets the accounting right by itself;
then the later call to shmem_inode_unacct_blocks() led to imbalance
(that WARN_ON(inode->i_blocks) in shmem_evict_inode()).

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

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
