gfs2: Never call gfs2_block_zero_range with an open transaction
Before this patch, some functions started transactions then they called gfs2_block_zero_range. However, gfs2_block_zero_range, like writes, can start transactions, which results in a recursive transaction error. For example: do_shrink trunc_start gfs2_trans_begin <------------------------------------------------ gfs2_block_zero_range iomap_zero_range(inode, from, length, NULL, &gfs2_iomap_ops); iomap_apply ... iomap_zero_range_actor iomap_begin gfs2_iomap_begin gfs2_iomap_begin_write actor (iomap_zero_range_actor) iomap_zero iomap_write_begin gfs2_iomap_page_prepare gfs2_trans_begin <------------------------ This patch reorders the callers of gfs2_block_zero_range so that they only start their transactions after the call. It also adds a BUG_ON to ensure this doesn't happen again.
