This fixes a bug in commit 21f97697 (ext4: remove unnecessary [cm]time update of quota file) The above commit was merged for 2.6.39-rc3 and introduced a crash in xfstest 232 (Run fsstress with quotas enabled and verify accounted quotas in the end). Signed-off-by: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@xxxxxxxxxxxx> --- This fix solves the crash on my system, but the test still fails with the following output: QA output created by 232 Testing fsstress fsstress -n 2000 -d outdir -p 7 seed = S Comparing user usage 3a4,493 > #1 -- 2456 0 0 13 0 0 > #10 -- 0 0 0 1 0 0 > #10098 -- 556 0 0 1 0 0 > #1023 -- 20 0 0 1 0 0 > #10253 -- 0 0 0 1 0 0 > #1026286 -- 4 0 0 1 0 0 > #103086187 -- 4 0 0 1 0 0 > #1036 -- 0 0 0 1 0 0 > #1052282 -- 4 0 0 1 0 0 > #1057 -- 260 0 0 1 0 0 I checked with kernel 2.6.38 and the test passes. I also tried reverting the commit, but the test still fails. In any case, the fix resolved the following crash: [ 1319.112544] EXT4-fs (sda8): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.
