Hello!
The crash only occurs if you use quota and an IDE Drive without barrier
support.
The Problem is, that on a new mount of a root filesystem - the flag
VFS_RDONLY is set - and so no barrier check is done before checking
quota. With this patch barrier check is done always. The partition
should not be mounted at that moment, so it could not be READ ONLY. For
mount -o remount, rw or something like this - XFS uses another function
where VFS_RDONLY is checked.
