The patch titled

     Lockdep: Annotate the quota code

has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename is

     lockdep-annotate-the-quota-code.patch

This patch was dropped because lockdep is being redone

------------------------------------------------------
Subject: Lockdep: Annotate the quota code
From: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>


The quota code plays interesting games with the lock ordering; to quote
Jan:

| i_mutex of inode containing quota file is acquired after all other
| quota locks. i_mutex of all other inodes is acquired before quota
| locks. Quota code makes sure (by resetting inode operations and
| setting special flag on inode) that noone tries to enter quota code
| while holding i_mutex on a quota file...

The good news is that all of this special case i_mutex grabbing happens
in the (per filesystem) low level quota write function. For this special
case we need a new I_MUTEX_* nesting level, since this just entirely
outside any of the regular VFS locking rules for i_mutex. I trust Jan on
his blue eyes that this is not ever going to deadlock; and based on that
the patch below is what it takes to inform lockdep of these very
interesting new locking rules.

The new locking rule for the I_MUTEX_QUOTA nesting level is that this is
the deepest possible level of nesting for i_mutex, and that this only
should be used in quota write (and possibly read) function of
filesystems. This makes the lock ordering of the I_MUTEX_* levels:

I_MUTEX_PARENT -> I_MUTEX_CHILD -> I_MUTEX_NORMAL -> I_MUTEX_QUOTA
