commit 10e14073107dd0b6d97d9516a02845a8e501c2c9 upstream.
Commit b35250c0816c ("writeback: Protect inode->i_io_list with inode->i_lock") made inode->i_io_list not only protected by wb->list_lock but also inode->i_lock, but inode_io_list_move_locked() was missed. Add lock there and also update comment describing things protected by inode->i_lock. This also fixes a race where __mark_inode_dirty() could move inode under flush worker's hands and thus sync(2) could miss writing some inodes.
