[PATCH] ext3: Fix hang on umount with quotas when journal isaborted

From: Jan Kara
Date: Wed Apr 02 2008 - 05:05:07 EST


Call dquot_drop() from ext3_dquot_drop() even if we fail to start a
transaction. Otherwise we never get to dropping references to
quota structures from the inode and umount will hang indefinitely.
Thanks to Payphone LIOU for spotting the problem.
