    quota: Move quota syncing to ->sync_fs method · a1177825
    Jan Kara authored
    Since the moment writes to quota files are using block device page cache and
    space for quota structures is reserved at the moment they are first accessed we
    have no reason to sync quota before inode writeback. In fact this order is now
    only harmful since quota information can easily change during inode writeback
    (either because conversion of delayed-allocated extents or simply because of
    allocation of new blocks for simple filesystems not using page_mkwrite).
    
    So move syncing of quota information after writeback of inodes into ->sync_fs
    method. This way we do not have to use ->quota_sync callback which is primarily
    intended for use by quotactl syscall anyway and we get rid of calling
    ->sync_fs() twice unnecessarily. We skip quota syncing for OCFS2 since it does
    proper quota journalling in all cases (unlike ext3, ext4, and reiserfs which
    also support legacy non-journalled quotas) and thus there are no dirty quota
    structures.
