    quota: Switch ->get_dqblk() and ->set_dqblk() to use bytes as space units · 14bf61ff
    Jan Kara authored
    Currently ->get_dqblk() and ->set_dqblk() use struct fs_disk_quota which
    tracks space limits and usage in 512-byte blocks. However VFS quotas
    track usage in bytes (as some filesystems require that) and we need to
    somehow pass this information. Upto now it wasn't a problem because we
    didn't do any unit conversion (thus VFS quota routines happily stuck
    number of bytes into d_bcount field of struct fd_disk_quota). Only if
    you tried to use Q_XGETQUOTA or Q_XSETQLIM for VFS quotas (or Q_GETQUOTA
    / Q_SETQUOTA for XFS quotas), you got bogus results. Hardly anyone
    tried this but reportedly some Samba users hit the problem in practice.
    So when we want interfaces compatible we need to fix this.
    
    We bite the bullet and define another quota structure used for passing
    information from/to ->get_dqblk()/->set_dqblk. It's somewhat sad we have
    to have more conversion routines in fs/quota/quota.c and another copying
    of quota structure slows down getting of quota information by about 2%
    but it seems cleaner than overloading e.g. units of d_bcount to bytes.
