[Ocfs2-devel] [PATCH] ocfs2: fix deadlock due to wrong locking order

For commit ocfs2 journal, ocfs2 journal thread will acquire the mutex
osb->journal->j_trans_barrier and wake up jbd2 commit thread, then it
will wait until jbd2 commit thread done. In order journal mode, jbd2
needs flushing dirty data pages first, and this needs get page lock.
So osb->journal->j_trans_barrier should be got before page lock.

But ocfs2_write_zero_page() and ocfs2_write_begin_inline() obey this
locking order, and this will cause deadlock and hung the whole cluster.

One deadlock catched is the following:
