Folks, could we please review this patch for upstream inclusion?

Thanks.

Subject: ocfs2: fix deadlock caused by ocfs2_defrag_extent

ocfs2_defrag_extent may fall into deadlock.

ocfs2_ioctl_move_extents
  ocfs2_ioctl_move_extents
    ocfs2_move_extents
      ocfs2_defrag_extent
        ocfs2_lock_allocators_move_extents

          ocfs2_reserve_clusters
            inode_lock GLOBAL_BITMAP_SYSTEM_INODE

	  __ocfs2_flush_truncate_log
            inode_lock GLOBAL_BITMAP_SYSTEM_INODE

As backtrace shows above, ocfs2_reserve_clusters() will call inode_lock
against the global bitmap if local allocator has not sufficient cluters. 
Once global bitmap could meet the demand, ocfs2_reserve_cluster will
return success with global bitmap locked.

After ocfs2_reserve_cluster(), if truncate log is full,
__ocfs2_flush_truncate_log() will definitely fall into deadlock because it
needs to inode_lock global bitmap, which has already been locked.

To fix this bug, we could remove from ocfs2_lock_allocators_move_extents()
the code which intends to lock global allocator, and put the removed code
after __ocfs2_flush_truncate_log().

ocfs2_lock_allocators_move_extents() is refered by 2 places, one is here,
the other does not need the data allocator context, which means this patch
does not affect the caller so far.

[lchen@suse.com: rename ocfs2_lock_allocators_move_extents() to ocfs2_lock_meta_allocator_move_extents(), add some comments]
