[Ocfs2-devel] [PATCH 4/4] ocfs2: Fix a deadlock issue in ocfs2_dio_end_io_write()

[Ryan Ding]

Should call ocfs2_free_alloc_context() to free meta_ac & data_ac before calling
ocfs2_run_deallocs(). Because ocfs2_run_deallocs() will acquire the system
inode's i_mutex hold by meta_ac. So try to release the lock before
ocfs2_run_deallocs().

Fixes: af1310367f41 ("ocfs2: fix sparse file & data ordering issue in direct io.")
