> Description
> 
> Since commit a44be64, remounting a read-only ext4 filesystem to become
> read-write fails when quotas are enabled. The mount syscall returns -EROFS
> and outputs the following in dmesg:
> 
> ```
> EXT4-fs warning (device loop0): ext4_enable_quotas:7028: Failed to enable
> quota tracking (type=0, err=-30, ino=3). Please run e2fsck
> ```
> 
> 
> Root cause
> 
> The problem can be traced back to the changes introduced in commit a44be64.
> It appears that the issue arises because the SB_RDONLY bit of the s_flags
> field is now only cleared after executing the ext4_enable_quotas function.
> However, the vfs_setup_quota_inode function, called by ext4_enable_quotas,
> checks whether this bit is set (fs/quota/dquot.c:2331):
> 
> ```
> if (IS_RDONLY(inode))
>       return -EROFS;
> ```
> 
> This condition therefore always triggers the -EROFS fail condition.
> 
> 
> Steps to Reproduce
> 
> The bug can be reproduced by executing the following script on a current
> mainline kernel with defconfig:
> 
> ```
> #!/bin/bash
> 
> set -ex
> 
> truncate -s 1G /tmp/img
> mkfs.ext4 /tmp/img
> tune2fs -Q usrquota,grpquota,prjquota /tmp/img
> losetup /dev/loop0 /tmp/img
> mount -o ro /dev/loop0 /mnt
> mount -o remount,rw /mnt
> ```
> 
> Executing the script results in the following output:
> 
> ```
> + truncate -s 1G /tmp/img
> + mkfs.ext4 /tmp/img

Ted had recently sent out the proposed fixes ([1] and [2]). Please test.
