Subject: [PATCH] ext4: fix race condition between buffer write and page_mkwrite
Syzbot reported a BUG_ON:
==================================================================
EXT4-fs (loop0): mounted filesystem without journal. Quota mode: none.
EXT4-fs error (device loop0): ext4_mb_generate_buddy:1098: group 0, block
bitmap and bg descriptor inconsistent: 25 vs 150994969 free clusters
------------[ cut here ]------------
kernel BUG at fs/ext4/ext4_jbd2.c:53!
invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN
CPU: 1 PID: 494 Comm: syz-executor.0 6.1.0-rc7-syzkaller-ga4412fdd49dc #0
RIP: 0010:__ext4_journal_stop+0x1b3/0x1c0

Call Trace:

The above BUG_ON is triggered by the following race:

handle=NULL
ext4_journal_stop(handle)
__ext4_journal_stop
ext4_put_nojournal(handle)
ref_cnt = (unsigned long)handle
BUG_ON(ref_cnt == 0) ---> BUG_ON
The root cause of this problem is that the ext4_convert_inline_data() in
ext4_page_mkwrite() does not grab i_rwsem, so it may race with
ext4_buffered_write_iter() and cause the write_begin() and write_end()
functions to be inconsistent and trigger BUG_ON.
To solve the above issue, we cannot add inode_lock directly to
ext4_page_mkwrite(), because this function is a hot path and frequent calls
to inode_lock will cause performance degradation for multi-threaded reads
and writes. Hence, we move ext4_convert_inline_data() to ext4_file_mmap(),
and only when inline_data is enabled and mmap a file in shared write mode,
we hold the lock to convert, which can reduce the impact on performance.
