[PATCH 0/1]ext4: Fix for WARN_ON_ONCE when marking buffer dirty
From: Pranay Kr. Srivastava

1) Fix WARN_ON_ONCE when marking buffer dirty
it's possible that a writeback for the super block
buffer head is triggered after setting the buffer
uptodate on a buffer write_io_error.
If however there's an error while writing the buffer
head then the buffer is cleared from being uptodate.
If the buffer uptodate is not set while calling
mark_buffer_dirty, it throws a WARN_ON_ONCE.
This patch fixes it by locking the buffer while marking
the buffer uptodate and then marking it dirty while holding
the buffer head lock.
