3.7-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
commit 721e3eba21e43532e438652dd8f1fcdfce3187e7 upstream.
Commit c278531d39 added a warning when ext4_flush_unwritten_io() is called without i_mutex being taken. It had previously not been taken during orphan cleanup since races weren't possible at that point in the mount process, but as a result of this c278531d39, we will now see a kernel WARN_ON in this case. Take the i_mutex in ext4_orphan_cleanup() to suppress this warning.
