3.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Jan Kara <[email protected]> commit a0391a3ae91d301c0e59368531a4de5f0b122bcf upstream. udf_release_file() can be called from munmap() path with mmap_sem held. Thus we cannot take i_mutex there because that ranks above mmap_sem. Luckily, i_mutex is not needed in udf_release_file() anymore since protection by i_data_sem is enough to protect from races with write and truncate.
