[PATCH 5.11 304/342] ext4: annotate data race in jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata()

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman

From: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx>

commit 83fe6b18b8d04c6c849379005e1679bac9752466 upstream.

Assertion checks in jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata() are known to be racy
but we don't want to be grabbing locks just for them. We thus recheck
them under b_state_lock only if it looks like they would fail. Annotate
the checks with data_race().
