And that modifies the way we do inode reclaim synchronisation by
ILOCK rather than by IOLOCK|ILOCK. Neither of these are touching the
dquot locking at all, so I'm having trouble understanding why these
commits would cause a problem with a dquot mutex....

That implies that the task is currently trying to acquire two
mutexes at once - which I can't see is possible. How different are
the two values i.e. are you seeing memory corruption?
Also, what case is the code running through? is it taking the
xfs_dqlock2() branch, and if so are the two dquots different?
Cheers,
Dave.
