In order to reproduce this problem, the following conditions need to be met:
1. Ext4 filesystem with no journal;
2. Filesystem image with incorrect quota data;
3. Abort filesystem forced by user;
4. umount filesystem;

As in ext4_quota_write:
...

         if (EXT4_SB(sb)->s_journal && !handle) {
                 ext4_msg(sb, KERN_WARNING, "Quota write (off=%llu, len=%llu)"
                         " cancelled because transaction is not started",
                         (unsigned long long)off, (unsigned long long)len);
                 return -EIO;
         }

...
We only check handle if NULL when filesystem has journal. There is need check handle if NULL even when filesystem has no journal.

The patch looks good, except this sentence. I don't think it has anything to do with the abort forced by the user. Yes, in your reproducer you induced the error by aborting the fs, but it can happen any time we fail to start a journal transaction. So IMO the message is already accurate enough. See ext4_release_dquot().

Thanks!
