Subject: [PATCH 0/3] Fix ext4 deadlock when running xfstests/269

  Hello,

  these three patches fix a deadlock Akira-san has been observing for
some time when running xfstest's test 269 for long enough. The first two
patches are preparatory and the third patch fixes the real problem -
calling ext4_should_retry_alloc() from a wrong locking context.
