There are multiple places where ext4_mark_inode_dirty() is called holding
write lock of EXT4_I(inode)->i_data_sem. However, if
ext4_mark_inode_dirty() needs to expand inode size, this will cause
deadlock when ext4_xattr_block_set() tries to get read lock of
EXT4_I(inode)->i_data_sem.
Following was the messages dumped when this problem happened:
