The following test script triggers a deadlock on ext2 filesystem:
while true; do quotaon /dev/hda >&/dev/null; usleep $RANDOM; done &
while true; do quotaoff /dev/hda >&/dev/null; usleep $RANDOM; done &
I found there is a potential deadlock between quotaon and quotaoff (or
quotasync). Basically, all of quotactl operations need to be protected by
dqonoff_mutex. vfs_quota_off and vfs_quota_sync also call sb->s_op->quota_write
that needs to grab the i_mutex of the quota file. But in vfs_quota_on_inode
(called from quotaon operation), the current code tries to grab the i_mutex of
the quota file first before getting quonoff_mutex.
Reverse the order in which we take locks in vfs_quota_on_inode().
Jan Kara: Changed changelog to be more readable, made lockdep happy with
I_MUTEX_QUOTA.

clear_inode() will switch inode state from I_FREEING to I_CLEAR, and do so
_outside_ of inode_lock. So any I_FREEING testing is incomplete without a
coupled testing of I_CLEAR.
So add I_CLEAR tests to drop_pagecache_sb(), generic_sync_sb_inodes() and
add_dquot_ref().
Masayoshi MIZUMA discovered the bug in drop_pagecache_sb() and Jan Kara
reminds fixing the other two cases.
Masayoshi MIZUMA has a nice panic flow:
=====================================================================
[process A] | [process B]
| |
| prune_icache() | drop_pagecache()
| spin_lock(&inode_lock) | drop_pagecache_sb()
| inode->i_state |= I_FREEING; | |
| spin_unlock(&inode_lock) | V
| | | spin_lock(&inode_lock)
| V | |
| dispose_list() | |
| list_del() | |
| clear_inode() | |
| inode->i_state = I_CLEAR | |
| | | V
| | | if (inode->i_state & (I_FREEING|I_WILL_FREE))
| | | continue; <==== NOT MATCH
| | |
| | | (DANGER from here on! Accessing disposing inode!)
| | |
| | | __iget()
| | | list_move() <===== PANIC on poisoned list !!
V V |

ext2: Zero our b_size in ext2_quota_read()
trivial: fix typos/grammar errors in fs/Kconfig
quota: Coding style fixes
quota: Remove superfluous inlines
quota: Remove uppercase aliases for quota functions.
nfsd: Use lowercase names of quota functions

...
Andrew Morton has suggested that three global quota locks can end up in the
same cacheline which can result in bad cacheline ping-pong on SMP machines.
Make locks cacheline aligned so that we avoid this problem (thanks goes to
Andrew for the idea).
