>Description:
Turning quotas off and back on can crash system.
>How-To-Repeat:
Boot a system with quotas on.  Set a few with setquota.  Turn quotas
off with quotaoff.  Turn them back on with quotaon.  You may need to
do a few more setquota commands.  The system will crash at or around
line 778 in ufs/ufs/ufs_quota.c with a kernel page fault.
>Fix:
I believe this is because when a dquot is released, it is threaded onto
the freelist, but left hashed.  When a dquot is needed, one will be
taken from the freelist if possible.  This code assumes that the dquot
is still hashed in.  Unfortunately, quotaoff() calls dquot_flush() which will unhash the dquot (so it is now on the freelist but is not
hashed in).  This causes a fault referencing the hash predecessor of
the dquot we just took from the freelist.  Context diff follows:
