Yeah... This is not just my fault :)
Similar deadlock already exist but happen due to end_io_work

truncate:                          kworker:
ext4_setattr                       ext4_end_io_work
                                    

   mutex_lock(i_mutex)
   inode_dio_wait(inode)  ->BLOCK
                         DEADLOCK<- mutex_trylock()
                                    inode_dio_done()
