Subject: [010/197] xfs: fix mmap_sem/iolock inversion in xfs_free_eofblocks

2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------


From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@...radead.org>

commit c56c9631cbe88f08854a56ff9776c1f310916830 upstream

When xfs_free_eofblocks is called from ->release the VM might already
hold the mmap_sem, but in the write path we take the iolock before
taking the mmap_sem in the generic write code.

Switch xfs_free_eofblocks to only trylock the iolock if called from
->release and skip trimming the prellocated blocks in that case.
We'll still free them later on the final iput.
