This patch updates the lock pattern in ext4_dio_read_iter() to only
perform the trylock in IOCB_NOWAIT cases.

The changelog is actually misleading. It should say something like "This
patch updates the lock pattern in ext4_dio_read_iter() to not block on
inode lock in case of IOCB_NOWAIT direct IO reads."

Also to ease backporting of easy fixes, we try to put patches like this
early in the series (fixing code in ext4_direct_IO_read(), and then the
fixed code would just carry over to ext4_dio_read_iter()).

The change itself looks good to me.

OK, understood. Now I know this for next time. :)

Providing that I have this patch precede the ext4_dio_read_iter()
patch and implement this lock pattern in ext4_direct_IO_read(), am I
OK to add the 'Reviewed-by' tag?

This shall need a rebase (as mentioned in patch-1 discussion).
It will be good to mention that the locking condition
is kept similar to 942491c9e6d6 ("xfs: fix AIM7 regression").

Also, I think it may also need a fixes tag.
It seems unconditional inode_lock_shared was added by below commit.

Fixes: 16c54688592c ("ext4: Allow parallel DIO reads")


Otherwise, this patch looks good to me. You may add:
