commit eb5efbcb762aee4b454b04f7115f73ccbcf8f0ef upstream.

The write_end() function must always unlock the page and drop its ref
count, even on an error.

commit c755e251357a0cee0679081f08c3f4ba797a8009 upstream.

The xattr_sem deadlock problems fixed in commit 2e81a4eeedca: "ext4:
avoid deadlock when expanding inode size" didn't include the use of
xattr_sem in fs/ext4/inline.c.  With the addition of project quota
which added a new extra inode field, this exposed deadlocks in the
inline_data code similar to the ones fixed by 2e81a4eeedca.

The deadlock can be reproduced via:

   dmesg -n 7
   mke2fs -t ext4 -O inline_data -Fq -I 256 /dev/vdc 32768
   mount -t ext4 -o debug_want_extra_isize=24 /dev/vdc /vdc
   mkdir /vdc/a
   umount /vdc
   mount -t ext4 /dev/vdc /vdc
   echo foo &gt; /vdc/a/foo

and looks like this:

I have been running make namespacecheck to look for unneeded globals, and
found these in ext4.

<title>ext4: avoid clearing beyond i_blocks when truncating an inline data file</title>

A missing cast means that when we are truncating a file which is less
than 60 bytes, we don't clear the correct area of memory, and in fact
we can end up truncating the next inode in the inode table, or worse
yet, some other kernel data structure.

<title>ext4: standardize error handling in ext4_da_write_inline_data_begin()</title>

The function has a bit non-standard (for ext4) error recovery in that it
used a mix of 'out' labels and testing for 'handle' being NULL. There
isn't a good reason for that in the function so clean it up a bit.

<title>ext4: retry allocation when inline-&gt;extent conversion failed</title>

Similarly as other -&gt;write_begin functions in ext4, also
ext4_da_write_inline_data_begin() should retry allocation if the
conversion failed because of ENOSPC. This avoids returning ENOSPC
prematurely because of uncommitted block deletions.
