You just leave the duplicate inode_newsize_ok in, but still have

need to move inode_change_ok to under the cluster locks, both
for the truncate and non-truncate case.

	Is your concern that the u/gid checks may be against stale ids?
So I think we should have one inode_change_ok before the cluster lock and another after the cluster lock. The first one will save us a lot of cluster lock effort if the user pass us the wrong arguments while the later
one will test again with the refreshed inode info.

But any reason this isn't done inside the

        if (size_change && attr->ia_size != inode->i_size) {

conditional above?  You'll never get size and uid/gid changes in the
same request, so there won't be any change in behaviour.

	I think the code exists as-is so that the i_size update only
happens after the quota transfer has been approved.  Jan added the quota
bits in this location.
	I can't see a standard posix op that changes size and ids at the
same time.  I think we just add BUG_ON expressions that ensure such a
behavior, right?
