From: Liu Bo <bo.li.liu@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 781feef7e6befafd4d9787d1f7ada1f9ccd504e4 ] While checking INODE_REF/INODE_EXTREF for a corner case, we may acquire a different inode's log_mutex with holding the current inode's log_mutex, and lockdep has complained this with a possilble deadlock warning. Fix this by using mutex_lock_nested() when processing the other inode's log_mutex.
