Err, this doesn't have a Fixes: tag attached to it.  Does it pass
fstests?  Because it doesn't look like you've pulled in "xfs: don't fail
unwritten extent conversion on writeback due to edquot", which is needed
to avoid regressing fstests...

...waitaminute, that whole series lacks Fixes: tags because it wasn't
considered a good enough candidate for automatic backport.

Ummm, does the autosel fstests driver turn on quotas? ;)
