ext4_break_layouts() may fail e.g. due to a signal being delivered. Thus we need to handle its failure gracefully and not by taking the filesystem down. Currently ext4_break_layouts() failure is rare but it may become more common once RDMA uses layout leases for handling long-term page pins for DAX mappings. To handle the failure we need to move ext4_break_layouts() earlier during setattr handling before we do hard to undo changes such as modifying inode size. To be able to do that we also have to move some other checks which are better done without holding i_mmap_sem earlier.

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.
