In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: fix race condition between ext4_write and ext4_convert_inline_data
Hulk Robot reported a BUG_ON:

BUG_ON(ref_cnt == 0) ---> BUG_ON
The lock held by ext4_convert_inline_data is xattr_sem, but the lock
held by generic_perform_write is i_rwsem. Therefore, the two locks can
be concurrent.
To solve above issue, we add inode_lock() for ext4_convert_inline_data().
At the same time, move ext4_convert_inline_data() in front of
ext4_punch_hole(), remove similar handling from ext4_punch_hole().
