OK, this is bad...

But I don't see how this can happen. The code in dquot_load_quota_sb()
looks like:

        error = add_dquot_ref(sb, type);
        if (error)
                dquot_disable(sb, type, flags);

So if an error happens in add_dquot_ref(), we'll call dquot_disable().
dquot_disable() then does:

                drop_dquot_ref(sb, cnt);
                invalidate_dquots(sb, cnt);

and invalidate_dquots() waits for reference count of all dquots to drop to
0. Hence if dqget() returned a dquot pointer to ProcessC, then ProcessB
should wait until ProcessC drops the dquot reference (hence
ext4_acquire_dquot() is done).

What am I missing?
