Commit 743b5f1434f5 ("ocfs2: take inode lock in ocfs2_iop_set/get_acl()") introduced this issue. ocfs2_setattr called by chmod command holds cluster wide inode lock when calling posix_acl_chmod. This latter function in turn calls ocfs2_iop_get_acl and ocfs2_iop_set_acl. These two are also called directly from vfs layer for getfacl/setfacl commands and therefore acquire the cluster wide inode lock. If a remote conversion request comes after the first inode lock in ocfs2_setattr, OCFS2_LOCK_BLOCKED will be set. And this will cause the second call to inode lock from the ocfs2_iop_get_acl() to block indefinetly. The deleted version of ocfs2_acl_chmod() calls __posix_acl_chmod() which does not call back into the filesystem. Therefore, we restore ocfs2_acl_chmod(), modify it slightly for locking as needed, and use that instead.
