4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Martin Brandenburg <martin@xxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 6793f1c450b1533a5e9c2493490de771d38b24f9 upstream. After do_readv_writev, the inode cache is invalidated anyway, so i_size will never be read. It will be fetched from the server which will also know about updates from other machines. Fixes deadlock on 32-bit SMP.
