From: Goldwyn Rodrigues <rgoldwyn@xxxxxxxx> If direct writes are called with O_DIRECT | O_DSYNC, it will result in a deadlock because iomap_dio_rw() is called under i_rwsem which calls iomap_dio_complete() generic_write_sync() btrfs_sync_file(). btrfs_sync_file() requires i_rwsem, so call __iomap_dio_rw() with the i_rwsem locked, and call iomap_dio_complete() after unlocking i_rwsem.
