Subject: [PATCH v4 2/3] ext4: fix races between changing inode journal mode and
ext4_writepages
Now, in ext4, there is a race condition between changing inode journal
mode and ext4_writepages(). While ext4_writepages() is executed on
a non-journalled mode inode, the inode's journal mode could be enabled
by ioctl() and then, some pages dirtied after switching the journal
mode will be still exposed to ext4_writepages() in non-journaled mode.
To resolve this problem, we use fs-wide per-cpu rw semaphore by
Jan Kara's suggestion because we don't want to waste ext4_inode_info's
space for this extra rare case.
