When target_ip exists in xfs_rename(), the xfs_dir_replace() call may need to hold the AGF lock to allocate more blocks, and then invoking the xfs_droplink() call to hold AGI lock to drop target_ip onto the unlinked list, so we get the lock order AGF->AGI. This would break the ordering constraint on AGI and AGF locking - inode allocation locks the AGI, then can allocate a new extent for new inodes, locking the AGF after the AGI. In this patch we check whether the replace operation need more blocks firstly. If so, acquire the agi lock firstly to preserve locking order(AGI/AGF). Actually, the locking order problem only occurs when we are locking the AGI/AGF of the same AG. For multiple AGs the AGI lock will be released after the transaction committed.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
