ext4: fix races between buffered IO and collapse / insert range
commit 32ebffd3bbb4162da5ff88f9a35dd32d0a28ea70 upstream. Current code implementing FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE and FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE is prone to races with buffered writes and page faults. If buffered write or write via mmap manages to squeeze between filemap_write_and_wait_range() and truncate_pagecache() in the fallocate implementations, the written data is simply discarded by truncate_pagecache() although it should have been shifted. Fix the problem by moving filemap_write_and_wait_range() call inside i_mutex and i_mmap_sem. That way we are protected against races with both buffered writes and page faults.
