commit 35df4299a6487f323b0aca120ea3f485dfee2ae3 upstream.

EXT4_I(inode)->i_disksize could be accessed concurrently as noticed by
KCSAN,

BUG: KCSAN: data-race in ext4_write_end [ext4] / ext4_writepages [ext4]

Reported by Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer on:
CPU: 37 PID: 24872 Comm: kworker/u261:2 Tainted: G W O L 5.5.0-next-20200204+ #5
Hardware name: HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen10/ProLiant DL385 Gen10, BIOS A40 07/10/2019
Workqueue: writeback wb_workfn (flush-7:0)

Since only the read is operating as lockless (outside of the
"i_data_sem"), load tearing could introduce a logic bug. Fix it by
adding READ_ONCE() for the read and WRITE_ONCE() for the write.
