[PATCH 29/49] ext4: Make ext4_get_blocks_wrap take the truncate_mutex early.

From: Theodore Ts'o
Date: Mon Jan 21 2008 - 22:15:01 EST


From: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

When doing a migrate from ext3 to ext4 inode we need to make sure the test
for inode type and walking inode data happens inside lock. To make this
happen move truncate_mutex early before checking the i_flags.


This actually should enable us to remove the verify_chain().
