Hi,
Thanks for report. It seems like a lockdep problem. i_mutex for quota
files is below dqonoff_sem. We were already fixing this for filesystem
specific quota IO functions but obviously we've missed a few cases. I
wonder why it showed up only now... Anyway, attached is a fix. Andrew,
would you add it? Thanks.

i_mutex on quota files is special. Unlike i_mutexes for other inodes it is
acquired under dqonoff_mutex. Tell lockdep about this lock ranking. Also
comment and code in quota_sync_sb() seem to be bogus (as i_mutex for quota
file can be acquired under dqonoff_mutex). Move truncate_inode_pages()
call under dqonoff_mutex and save some problems with races...
