In no journal mode, ext4_finish_convert_inline_dir() can self-deadlock
by calling ext4_handle_dirty_dirblock() when it already has taken the
directory lock. There is a similar self-deadlock in
ext4_incvert_inline_data_nolock() for data files which we'll fix at
the same time.
A simple reproducer demonstrating the problem:
mke2fs -Fq -t ext2 -O inline_data -b 4k /dev/vdc 64
mount -t ext4 -o dirsync /dev/vdc /vdc
cd /vdc
mkdir file0
cd file0
touch file0
touch file1
attr -s BurnSpaceInEA -V abcde .
touch supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
