Hi Greg,

Looks like upstream commit b91b6b019fd ("ovl: fix deadlock in splice write") needs to be added to linux-5.4.y.

The reason is that commit 82a763e61e2b ("ovl: simplify file splice") was backported to v5.4.155, and the above commit fixes this.

Applies cleanly and I reviewed that the backport is correct.

Now queued up, thanks.
