The inode_lock(inode) in vfs_fileattr_set() is a regular file inode and
inode_lock_shared(inode) in ext4_bmap() is a journal inode.

So this might be a false positive deadlock warning.

Thanks,
Jason

I got this report while running syzkaller too. It's very annoying because
anyone running syzkaller will probably get this if the filesystem is ext4.

ext4_bmap() didn't use to take the inode lock. It started in this very recent
commit:

commit 51ae846cff568c8c29921b1b28eb2dfbcd4ac12d
Author: Ye Bin <yeb...@huawei.com>
Date: Fri Jun 17 09:39:35 2022 +0800

ext4: fix warning in ext4_iomap_begin as race between bmap and write

Ye, any thoughts on what to do about this?
