Current ext4 quota should always "usage enabled" if the quota feautre is enabled. But in ext4_orphan_cleanup(), it turn quotas off directly (used for the older journaled quota), so we cannot turn it on again via "quotaon" unless umount and remount ext4. Simple reproduce: mkfs.ext4 -O project,quota /dev/vdb1 mount -o prjquota /dev/vdb1 /mnt chattr -p 123 /mnt chattr +P /mnt touch /mnt/aa /mnt/bb exec 100<>/mnt/aa rm -f /mnt/aa sync echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger #reboot and mount mount -o prjquota /dev/vdb1 /mnt #query status quotaon -Ppv /dev/vdb1 #output quotaon: Cannot find mountpoint for device /dev/vdb1 quotaon: No correct mountpoint specified. This patch add check for journaled quotas to avoid incorrect quotaoff when ext4 has quota feautre.
