Eric Biggers 7b4cc9787f ext4: evict inline data when writing to memory map
Currently the case of writing via mmap to a file with inline data is not
handled.  This is maybe a rare case since it requires a writable memory
map of a very small file, but it is trivial to trigger with on
inline_data filesystem, and it causes the
'BUG_ON(ext4_test_inode_state(inode, EXT4_STATE_MAY_INLINE_DATA));' in
ext4_writepages() to be hit:

    mkfs.ext4 -O inline_data /dev/vdb
    mount /dev/vdb /mnt
    xfs_io -f /mnt/file \
	-c 'pwrite 0 1' \
	-c 'mmap -w 0 1m' \
	-c 'mwrite 0 1' \
	-c 'fsync'

We could try to be smart and keep the inline data in this case, or at
least support delayed allocation when allocating the block, but these
solutions would be more complicated and don't seem worthwhile given how
rare this case seems to be.  So just fix the bug by calling
ext4_convert_inline_data() when we're asked to make a page writable, so
that any inline data gets evicted, with the block allocated immediately.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
