That function is called with transaction started and so ext4_evict_inode() can deadlock against fs freezing like: CPU1 CPU2 removexattr() freeze_super() vfs_removexattr() ext4_xattr_set() handle = ext4_journal_start() ... ext4_xattr_set_entry() iput(old_ea_inode) ext4_evict_inode(old_ea_inode) sb->s_writers.frozen = SB_FREEZE_FS; sb_wait_write(sb, SB_FREEZE_FS); ext4_freeze() jbd2_journal_lock_updates() -> blocks waiting for all handles to stop sb_start_intwrite() -> blocks as sb is already in SB_FREEZE_FS state Generally it is advisable to delete inodes from a separate transaction as it can consume quite some credits however in this case it would be quite clumsy and furthermore the credits for inode deletion are quite limited and already accounted for. So just tweak ext4_evict_inode() to avoid freeze protection if we have transaction already started and thus it is not really needed anyway.
