    reiserfs: call truncate_setsize under tailpack mutex · 4660efb8
    Jeff Mahoney authored
    commit 22e7478ddbcb670e33fab72d0bbe7c394c3a2c84 upstream.
    
    Prior to commit 0e4f6a79
    
     (Fix reiserfs_file_release()), reiserfs
    truncates serialized on i_mutex. They mostly still do, with the exception
    of reiserfs_file_release. That blocks out other writers via the tailpack
    mutex and the inode openers counter adjusted in reiserfs_file_open.
    
    However, NFS will call reiserfs_setattr without having called ->open, so
    we end up with a race when nfs is calling ->setattr while another
    process is releasing the file. Ultimately, it triggers the
    BUG_ON(inode->i_size != new_file_size) check in maybe_indirect_to_direct.
    
    The solution is to pull the lock into reiserfs_setattr to encompass the
    truncate_setsize call as well.
