So far, for buffered writes, we were taking the inode glock in gfs2_iomap_begin and dropping it in gfs2_iomap_end with the intention of not holding the inode glock while iomap_write_actor faults in user pages. It turns out that iomap_write_actor is called inside iomap_begin ... iomap_end, so the user pages were still faulted in while holding the inode glock and the locking code in iomap_begin / iomap_end was completely pointless. Move the locking into gfs2_file_buffered_write instead. We'll take care of the potential deadlocks due to faulting in user pages while holding a glock in a subsequent patch.

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.
