Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Fix deadlock with suspend & quotas

  Hello Al,

  This is my attempt to fix deadlock in quota code when filesystem is
suspended and someone tries to modify quota e.g. via Q_SETQUOTA command. I
added a VFS function to get a superblock reference and return only after
the filesystem is thawed. Is that what you had in mind? Can you merge
these patches? Thanks.
