Sounds good. I think (hope) that shouldn't be too bad :)

Yep, good catch. Fixed patch follows. I'll start merging it all now.

ocfs2/quota: Use workqueue for periodic syncing instead of pdflush()
Using pdflush_operation() for this was potentially buggy - we could get into
a situation where the work function never gets run. Instead, just create a
workqueue, 'o2quota' and just constantly queue a delayed work item. The
impact of this should be pretty minimal.
