Should this fix be backported into -stable kernels?

No, I think, because the previous patches that this one needs to be on,

- commit 439a36b8ef38 ("ocfs2/dlmglue: prepare tracking logic to avoid recursive cluster lock").
- commit b891fa5024a9 ("ocfs2: fix deadlock issue when taking inode lock at vfs entry points")

is not in --stable too.

I don't know if it's possible to make them all into stable.

Thanks,
Eric

Another deadlock path caused by recursive locking is reported.
This kind of issue was introduced since commit 743b5f1434f5 ("ocfs2:
take inode lock in ocfs2_iop_set/get_acl()"). Two deadlock paths
have been fixed by commit b891fa5024a9 ("ocfs2: fix deadlock issue when
taking inode lock at vfs entry points"). Yes, we intend to fix this
kind of case in incremental way, because it's hard to find out all
possible paths at once.

This one can be reproduced like this. On node1, cp a large file from
home directory to ocfs2 mountpoint. While on node2, run setfacl/getfacl.
Both nodes will hang up there. The backtraces:

Fixes this one by using ocfs2_inode_{lock|unlock}_tracker, which is
exported by commit 439a36b8ef38 ("ocfs2/dlmglue: prepare tracking
logic to avoid recursive cluster lock").

Changes since v1:
- Revised git commit description style in commit log.
