Theodore Ts'o f4ce24f54d ext4: fix deadlock when converting an inline directory in nojournal mode
In no journal mode, ext4_finish_convert_inline_dir() can self-deadlock
by calling ext4_handle_dirty_dirblock() when it already has taken the
directory lock.  There is a similar self-deadlock in
ext4_incvert_inline_data_nolock() for data files which we'll fix at
the same time.

A simple reproducer demonstrating the problem:

    mke2fs -Fq -t ext2 -O inline_data -b 4k /dev/vdc 64
    mount -t ext4 -o dirsync /dev/vdc /vdc
    cd /vdc
    mkdir file0
    cd file0
    touch file0
    touch file1
    attr -s BurnSpaceInEA -V abcde .
    touch supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
