[ Upstream commit 3c92792da8506a295afb6d032b4476e46f979725 ] As lockdep properly warns, we should not be locking i_rwsem while having transactions started as the proper lock ordering used by all directory handling operations is i_rwsem -> transaction start. Fix the lock ordering by moving the locking of the directory earlier in ext4_rename().

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.
