Re: [syzbot] [ocfs2?] possible deadlock in ocfs2_del_inode_from_orphan

Hello,
syzbot has tested the proposed patch but the reproducer is still triggering an issue:
possible deadlock in ocfs2_del_inode_from_orphan
(syz.0.44,6753,0):ocfs2_block_check_validate:402 ERROR: CRC32 failed: stored: 0xb3775c19, computed 0x2dd1c265. Applying ECC.
JBD2: Ignoring recovery information on journal
ocfs2: Mounting device (7,0) on (node local, slot 0) with ordered data mode.
