OK, maybe I've jumped to conclusion too early but the fix I've referenced
above will protect ext4_convert_inline_data() in ext4_fallocate() with
inode->i_rwsem so I think the race you describe with ext4_da_write_begin()
cannot happen. The inline conversion path with be entered either from
ext4_da_write_begin() or from ext4_fallocate() but not from both. If I'm
missing something, please explain how you think the problem happens with
the above fix applied... Thanks!
