Subject[PATCH] Quota fix 2
  Hello,

  another fix for quota code - it fixes the problem with recursion into
filesystem when inode of quota file needs a page + some other allocation
problems. I hope I got the GFP mask setting right.. The patch is against
2.6.6 with the patch you sent to Linus & my previous quota patch. Please
apply.

								Honza
