xfs: quotacheck failure can race with background inode inactivation
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The background inode inactivation can attached dquots to inodes, but
this can race with a foreground quotacheck failure that leads to
disabling quotas and freeing the mp->m_quotainfo structure. The
background inode inactivation then tries to allocate a quota, tries
to dereference mp->m_quotainfo, and crashes like so:

XFS (loop1): Quotacheck: Unsuccessful (Error -5): Disabling quotas.

Prevent this race by flushing all the queued background inode
inactivations pending before purging all the cached dquots when
quotacheck fails.
