commit 18f2c4fcebf2582f96cbd5f2238f4f354a0e4847 upstream.

If the file system has been shut down or is read-only, then
ext4_write_inode() needs to bail out early.

Also use jbd2_complete_transaction() instead of ext4_force_commit() so
we only force a commit if it is needed.

Hi Ted,

I'm not sure if this patch is the culprit or no, but testing with
xfstests on 4.20.1-rc1 started failing generic/390 with:

I'm also slightly confused here because this test is for ext4 without
journal (see even "EXT4-fs (nvme0n1p2): mounted filesystem without
journal") but for some reason it seems that this still goes to the
journal?
