In commit efa092f3d4c6 "[XFS] Fixes a bug in the quota code when
allocating a new dquot record", we allocate a new dquot block, grab a
buffer to initialize it, and return the locked initialized dquot buffer
to the caller for further in-core dquot initialization. Unfortunately,
if the _bmap_finish errored out, _qm_dqalloc would also error out
without bothering to free the (locked) buffer. Leaking a locked buffer
caused hangs in generic/388 when quotas are enabled.
Furthermore, the _bmap_finish -> _defer_finish conversion in
310a75a3c6c747 ("xfs: change xfs_bmap_{finish,cancel,init,free} ->
xfs_defer_*") failed to observe that the buffer was held going into
_defer_finish and therefore failed to notice that the buffer lock is
/not/ maintained afterwards. Now that we can bjoin a buffer to a
defer_ops, use this mechanism to ensure that the buffer stays locked
across the _defer_finish. Release the holds and locks on the buffer as
appropriate if we have to error out.
There is a subtlety here for the caller in that the buffer emerges
locked and held to the transaction, so if the _trans_commit fails we
have to release the buffer explicitly. This fixes the unmount hang
in generic/388 when quotas are enabled.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
