[ Upstream commit 5fcff61eea9efd1f4b60e89d2d686b5feaea100f ] Before this patch, functions gfs2_qa_get and _put used the i_rw_mutex to prevent simultaneous access to its i_qadata. But i_rw_mutex is now used for many other things, including iomap_begin and end, which causes a conflict according to lockdep. We cannot just remove the lock since simultaneous opens (gfs2_open -> gfs2_open_common -> gfs2_qa_get) can then stomp on each others values for i_qadata. This patch solves the conflict by using the i_lock spin_lock in the inode to prevent simultaneous access.

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.
