Thanks for reporting this issue. I believe the following patch that can fix the issue. Regards, - Zheng Subject: [PATCH] ext4: release ->i_mutex and resume unlocked dio in swap_inode_boot_loader() From: Zheng Liu <wenqing.lz@xxxxxxxxxx> In swap_inode_boot_loader() we forgot to release ->i_mutex and resume unlocked dio for inode and inode_bl.
