charset="utf-8" A possible circular locking dependency in ocfs2_del_inode_from_orphan() is detected by syzbot, which occurs due to change in the sequence of acquiring locks. The existing chain is: &ocfs2_sysfile_lock_key[ORPHAN_DIR_SYSTEM_INODE] --> &dquot->dq_lock -->=20 &ocfs2_quota_ip_alloc_sem_key In ocfs2_dio_end_io_write(), &ocfs2_quota_ip_alloc_sem_key is acquired, and then ocfs2_del_inode_from_orphan() is called, which acquires &ocfs2_sysfile_lock_key[ORPHAN_DIR_SYSTEM_INODE].
