Subject: [PATCH 5.15 122/177] gfs2: No short reads or writes upon glock contention

From: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruenba@...hat.com>

[ Upstream commit 296abc0d91d8b65d42224dd33452ace14491ad08 ]

Commit 00bfe02f4796 ("gfs2: Fix mmap + page fault deadlocks for buffered
I/O") changed gfs2_file_read_iter() and gfs2_file_buffered_write() to
allow dropping the inode glock while faulting in user buffers.  When the
lock was dropped, a short result was returned to indicate that the
operation was interrupted.

As pointed out by Linus (see the link below), this behavior is broken
and the operations should always re-acquire the inode glock and resume
the operation instead.
