4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Shaohua Li <shli@xxxxxx> [ Upstream commit a12f1ae61c489076a9aeb90bddca7722bf330df3 ] lockdep reports a warnning. file_start_write/file_end_write only acquire/release the lock for regular files. So checking the files in aio side too.
