From ab93dbecfba72bbc04b7036343d180aaff1b61a3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Mason Date: Thu, 1 Oct 2009 12:29:10 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Btrfs: take i_mutex before generic_write_checks btrfs_file_write was incorrectly calling generic_write_checks without taking i_mutex. This lead to problems with racing around i_size when doing O_APPEND writes. The fix here is to move i_mutex higher.
