Subject: quota: missing lock in dqcache_shrink_scan()
From: Niu Yawei <yawei.niu@xxxxxxxxx>
commit d68aab6b8f572406aa93b45ef6483934dd3b54a6 upstream.
Commit 1ab6c4997e04 (fs: convert fs shrinkers to new scan/count API)
accidentally removed locking from quota shrinker. Fix it -
dqcache_shrink_scan() should use dq_list_lock to protect the
scan on free_dquots list.
Fixes: 1ab6c4997e04a00c50c6d786c2f046adc0d1f5de
