For file creation, create a new helper xfs_trans_alloc_icreate that allocates a transaction and reserves the appropriate amount of quota against that transction. Replace all the open-coded idioms with a single call to this helper so that we can contain the retry loops in the next patchset. This changes the locking behavior for non-tempfile creation slightly, in that we now make the quota reservation without holding the directory ILOCK. While the dquots chosen for inode creation are based on the directory state at a given point in time, the directory ILOCK was released as soon as the dquot references are picked up. Hence it was never necessary to hold the directory ILOCK for the quota reservation. 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.
