SubjectRe: Oops: Quota race in 2.4.12?

And speaking of quota oopses, I have had oops while enabling quota on
an active filesystem (which admittedly isn't very smart, but shouldn't
oops).
I think the following patch fixes it for 2.4.13. I had a quick look
at the latest -ac code it doesn't have the same problem.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Avoid Oops when quotas turned on on active filesystem

Current code
sets quotas-enabled flag
possibly blocks on dqget or dqput
then sets dq_op

If other code call DQUOT_INIT (for example) during the block, it will oops.
