Subject: remount-ro & umount & quota interaction

For a long time I'm bitten by a bad interaction
of mount -o remount,ro and quota operations.

The sequence is as follows:

 mount /fs
 quotaon -ug /fs
 mount -o remount,ro /fs
 umount /fs

At this point, umount never returns.  /proc/$pid/wchan
shows vfs_quota_off:

The filesystem is ext3.  The issue is here for a long time,
at least since before 2.6.20, and is still present in 2.6.23
(I'll try 2.6.24 later today).

Can it be fixed please? :)

Thanks!
