H A Dext4.hdiff 622cad1325e404598fe3b148c3fa640dbaabc235 Fri Apr 11 09:35:17 CDT 2014 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> ext4: move ext4_update_i_disksize() into mpage_map_and_submit_extent()

The function ext4_update_i_disksize() is used in only one place, in
the function mpage_map_and_submit_extent(). Move its code to simplify
the code paths, and also move the call to ext4_mark_inode_dirty() into
the i_data_sem's critical region, to be consistent with all of the
other places where we update i_disksize. That way, we also keep the
raw_inode's i_disksize protected, to avoid the following race:

CPU #1 CPU #2

down_write(&i_data_sem)
Modify i_disk_size
up_write(&i_data_sem)
down_write(&i_data_sem)
Modify i_disk_size
Copy i_disk_size to on-disk inode
up_write(&i_data_sem)
Copy i_disk_size to on-disk inode
