This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ext4: move where set the MAY_INLINE_DATA flag is set to the 5.15-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: ext4-move-where-set-the-may_inline_data-flag-is-set.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 1dcdce5919115a471bf4921a57f20050c545a236 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ye Bin <yebin10@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 7 Mar 2023 09:52:52 +0800 Subject: ext4: move where set the MAY_INLINE_DATA flag is set From: Ye Bin <yebin10@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 1dcdce5919115a471bf4921a57f20050c545a236 upstream. The only caller of ext4_find_inline_data_nolock() that needs setting of EXT4_STATE_MAY_INLINE_DATA flag is ext4_iget_extra_inode(). In ext4_write_inline_data_end() we just need to update inode->i_inline_off. Since we are going to add one more caller that does not need to set EXT4_STATE_MAY_INLINE_DATA, just move setting of EXT4_STATE_MAY_INLINE_DATA out to ext4_iget_extra_inode().
