Greg Kroah-Hartman 40012163e5 Revert "ocfs2: should wait dio before inode lock in ocfs2_setattr()"
This reverts commit c4baa4a587 which is
commit 28f5a8a7c0 upstream.

It shouldn't be applied to the 4.4-stable tree.

In the kernel 4.6, firstly, we use the inode_lock() in do_truncate() to
prevent another bio to be issued from this node.
Furthermore, we use the ocfs2_rw_lock() and ocfs2_inode_lock() in ocfs2_setattr()
to guarantee no more bio will be issued from the other nodes in this cluster.

Yes, ocfs2_dio_end_io_write() was introduced in 4.6 and the problem this patch
fixes is only exist in the kernel 4.6 and above 4.6.
