Hi,
This is with the new ext3 -> ext4 migrate code added. The recently added
lockdep for jbd2 helped to find this out. We want to hold the i_data_sem
on the ext3 inode during migration to prevent walking the ext3 inode
when it is being converted to ext4 format. Also we want to avoid
file truncation and new blocks being added while converting to ext4.
Also we dont want to reserve large number of credits for journal.
Any idea how to fix this ?
