From a44be64bbecb15a452496f60db6eacfee2b59c79 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Theodore Ts'o tytso@mit.edu Date: Fri, 5 May 2023 21:02:30 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] ext4: don't clear SB_RDONLY when remounting r/w until quota is re-enabled
When a file system currently mounted read/only is remounted read/write, if we clear the SB_RDONLY flag too early, before the quota is initialized, and there is another process/thread constantly attempting to create a directory, it's possible to trigger the
WARN_ON_ONCE(dquot_initialize_needed(inode));
in ext4_xattr_block_set(), with the following stack trace:
