While refactoring the quota code to create a function to allocate inode change transactions, I noticed that xfs_qm_vop_chown_reserve does more than just make reservations: it also *modifies* the incore counts directly to handle the owner id change for the delalloc blocks. I then observed that the fssetxattr code continues validating input arguments after making the quota reservation but before dirtying the transaction. If the routine decides to error out, it fails to undo the accounting switch! This leads to incorrect quota reservation and failure down the line. We can fix this by making the reservation function do only that -- for the new dquot, it reserves ondisk and delalloc blocks to the transaction, and the old dquot hangs on to its incore reservation for now. Once we actually switch the dquots, we can then update the incore reservations because we've dirtied the transaction and it's too late to turn back now. No fixes tag because this has been broken since the start of git. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
