Subject: [PATCH] ext4: Avoid crash when inline data creation follows DIO write

When inode is created and written to using direct IO, there is nothing
to clear the EXT4_STATE_MAY_INLINE_DATA flag. Thus when inode gets
truncated later to say 1 byte and written using normal write, we will
try to store the data as inline data. This confuses the code later
because the inode now has both normal block and inline data allocated
and the confusion manifests for example as:

Fix the problem by clearing EXT4_STATE_MAY_INLINE_DATA when we are doing
direct IO write to a file.

That works fine for me. Thanks Honza.

Tested-by: Tadeusz Struk<[email protected]>

It should also be applied to stable v5.15 and v5.10.
I will send a request once this lands in mainline.
