Hi Andrew!
I've extracted the locking changes from journalled quota patch
relevant for vanilla kernel (basically fixes the lock ordering in some
cases). The patch also includes documentation of the quota locking. The
patch is not trivial so are you willing to accept it in the vanilla
kernel?
Thanks for reply

Sure, I'll queue that up. It breaks the journalled quota patches of course,
so I dropped those.
Is the same code as was in the journalled quota patch? If so, it's
reasonably well tested.
I assume you'll be reworking the ext3 journalled quota patches?

Sure. Probably soon after 2.6.5 is released?
