d thus causing quota inconsistency after a crash. c) ip_alloc_sem of quota files was acquired while a transaction is started in ocfs2_quota_write which can deadlock because we first get ip_alloc_sem and then start a transaction when extending quota files. We fix the problem a) by pulling all necessary code to ocfs2_acquire_dquot and ocfs2_release_dquot. Thus we no longer depend on generic dquot_acquire to do the locking and can force proper lock ordering. Problems b) and c) are fixed by locking i_mutex and ip_alloc_sem of global quota file in ocfs2_lock_global_qf and removing ip_alloc_sem from ocfs2_quota_read and ocfs2_quota_write.
