Actually, this need more help....

bool, and we can't use the iocur until we've checked if it's valid.
i.e. after this first check:

The line of code below this calculates CRCs for dquot buffers, so it
seems kind of broken to be skipping crc update for an inode but not
a dquot given they are updated in the same way....

Shouldn't this "skip_crc" condition also be applied to dquot
buffers, too?

Cheers,
