Subject: CVE-2022-49414: ext4: fix race condition between ext4_write and ext4_convert_inline_data
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: fix race condition between ext4_write and ext4_convert_inline_data
Hulk Robot reported a BUG_ON:

The lock held by ext4_convert_inline_data is xattr_sem, but the lock
held by generic_perform_write is i_rwsem. Therefore, the two locks can
be concurrent.
To solve above issue, we add inode_lock() for ext4_convert_inline_data().
At the same time, move ext4_convert_inline_data() in front of
ext4_punch_hole(), remove similar handling from ext4_punch_hole().
The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2022-49414 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
