[PATCH 3.12 040/144] xfs: fix infinite loop by detaching the group/project hints from user dquot

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jie Liu <jeff.liu@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 718cc6f88cbfc4fbd39609f28c4c86883945f90d upstream.

xfs_quota(8) will hang up if trying to turn group/project quota off
before the user quota is off, this could be 100% reproduced by:
  # mount -ouquota,gquota /dev/sda7 /xfs
  # mkdir /xfs/test
  # xfs_quota -xc 'off -g' /xfs <-- hangs up
  # echo w > /proc/sysrq-trigger
  # dmesg

It's fine if we turn user quota off at first, then turn off other
kind of quotas if they are enabled since the group/project dquot
refcount is decreased to zero once the user quota if off. Otherwise,
those dquots refcount is non-zero due to the user dquot might refer
to them as hint(s).  Hence, above operation cause an infinite loop
at xfs_qm_dquot_walk() while trying to purge dquot cache.

This problem has been around since Linux 3.4, it was introduced by:
  [ b84a3a9675 xfs: remove the per-filesystem list of dquots ]

Originally we will release the group dquot pointers because the user
dquots maybe carrying around as a hint via xfs_qm_detach_gdquots().
However, with above change, there is no such work to be done before
purging group/project dquot cache.

In order to solve this problem, this patch introduces a special routine
xfs_qm_dqpurge_hints(), and it would release the group/project dquot
pointers the user dquots maybe carrying around as a hint, and then it
will proceed to purge the user dquot cache if requested.
