OK, this is bad...

Above issue may happens as follows:
ProcessA ProcessB ProcessC
sys_fsconfig
vfs_fsconfig_locked
reconfigure_super
ext4_remount
dquot_suspend -> suspend all type quota

sys_fsconfig
vfs_fsconfig_locked
reconfigure_super
ext4_remount
dquot_resume
ret = dquot_load_quota_sb
add_dquot_ref
do_open -> open file O_RDWR
vfs_open
do_dentry_open
get_write_access
atomic_inc_unless_negative(&inode->i_writecount)
ext4_file_open
dquot_file_open
dquot_initialize
__dquot_initialize
dqget
if (!test_bit(DQ_ACTIVE_B, &dquot->dq_flags))

__dquot_initialize
__dquot_initialize
dqget
if (!test_bit(DQ_ACTIVE_B, &dquot->dq_flags))
ext4_acquire_dquot -> Return error
if (ret < 0)
vfs_cleanup_quota_inode
dqopt->files[type] = NULL;
But I don't see how this can happen. The code in dquot_load_quota_sb()
looks like:

error = add_dquot_ref(sb, type);
if (error)
dquot_disable(sb, type, flags);

So if an error happens in add_dquot_ref(), we'll call dquot_disable().
dquot_disable() then does:

drop_dquot_ref(sb, cnt);
invalidate_dquots(sb, cnt);

and invalidate_dquots() waits for reference count of all dquots to drop to
0. Hence if dqget() returned a dquot pointer to ProcessC, then ProcessB
should wait until ProcessC drops the dquot reference (hence
ext4_acquire_dquot() is done).

What am I missing?

My reproduction condition is:
mkfs.ext4 -F /dev/sda
tune2fs -Q usrquota /dev/sda

dquot_disable
...
if ((flags & DQUOT_USAGE_ENABLED && !(flags &
DQUOT_LIMITS_ENABLED))
|| (flags & DQUOT_SUSPENDED && flags & (DQUOT_LIMITS_ENABLED |
DQUOT_USAGE_ENABLED)))
return -EINVAL;
...
If without enable DQUOT_LIMITS_ENABLED dquot_disable() will just return
-EINVAL.
Aha, that is the bug! Does attached patch fix your problem?

Honza
Yes , it's works.
