Nothing against the patch itself, but this comment is a bit confusing.

It would be good to list this dq_lock dependency at the dq_flags declaration.
Looking through the code that accesses dq_flags, I see dquot_mark_dquot_dirty(),
clear_dquot_dirty(), dquot_commit(), dqput() depend on dq_list_lock, but
I don't see many of the users besides dquot_acquire() and dquot_release()
getting dq_lock, only using the atomic bit operations on dq_flags.

Cheers, Andreas
