Hi Jan,
Today's linux-next build (x86_64 allmodconfig) produced this warning:
fs/quota/dquot.c: In function 'dquot_alloc_inode':
fs/quota/dquot.c:1521: warning: passing argument 1 of 'mark_all_dquot_dirty' discards qualifiers from pointer target type

Introduced by commit e91077e3d523c2ac2090b3447bf6244567cf7128 ("quota:
Move duplicated code to separate functions").

What's why my original patch contained type casts.
In fact i dont understand why {alloc,free}_inode accept pointer to
const struct inode, it's contradicts to normal logic
Even if inode is not in a good state, quta code may and must(what's
how it designed for now) change it internals.

Sorry, I forgot to commit this compilation fix before pushing. It should
be fixed now.

Does it? The 'const' keyword just promises we won't change struct inode.
And that is true. We only change structures that are pointed to from the
inode. So the code is correct as is.
