From: Carlos Maiolino cmaiolino@redhat.com
[ Upstream commit 373b0589dc8d58bc09c9a28d03611ae4fb216057 ]
Once the inode item writeback errors is already fixed, it's time to fix the same problem in dquot code.
Although there were no reports of users hitting this bug in dquot code (at least none I've seen), the bug is there and I was already planning to fix it when the correct approach to fix the inodes part was decided.
This patch aims to fix the same problem in dquot code, regarding failed buffers being unable to be resubmitted once they are flush locked.
Tested with the recently test-case sent to fstests list by Hou Tao.
