<content type='text'>
The xfs checks quota when reserving disk blocks and inodes. In the block
reservation, it checks if the total number of blocks including current
usage and new reservation exceed quota. In the inode reservation,
it checks using the total number of inodes including only current usage
without new reservation. However, this inode quota check works well
since the caller of xfs_trans_dquot() always sets the argument of the
number of new inode reservation to 1 or 0 and inode is reserved one by
one in current xfs.

To make it more general, this patch changes it to the same way as the
block quota check.

<title>xfs: change available ranges of softlimit and hardlimit in quota check</title>

<content type='text'>
In general, quota allows us to use disk blocks and inodes up to each
limit, that is, they are available if they don't exceed their limitations.
Current xfs sets their available ranges to lower than them except disk
inode quota check. So, this patch changes the ranges to not beyond them.

<title>XFS: xfs_trans_add_item() - don't assign in ASSERT() when compare is intended</title>

It looks to me like the two ASSERT()s in xfs_trans_add_item() really
want to do a compare (==) rather than assignment (=).
This patch changes it from the latter to the former.

<title>xfs: use a normal shrinker for the dquot freelist</title>

<id>04da0c8196ac0b12fb6b84f4b7a51ad2fa56d869</id>
<content type='text'>
Stop reusing dquots from the freelist when allocating new ones directly, and
implement a shrinker that actually follows the specifications for the
interface.  The shrinker implementation is still highly suboptimal at this
point, but we can gradually work on it.

This also fixes an bug in the previous lock ordering, where we would take
the hash and dqlist locks inside of the freelist lock against the normal
lock ordering.  This is only solvable by introducing the dispose list,
and thus not when using direct reclaim of unused dquots for new allocations.

As a side-effect the quota upper bound and used to free ratio values in
/proc/fs/xfs/xqm are set to 0 as these values don't make any sense in the
new world order.

<title>xfs: pass KM_SLEEP flag to kmem_realloc() in xlog_recover_add_to_cnt_trans()</title>

The kmem_realloc() in xfs is given KM_* memory allocation flags. And it
allocates memory using kmalloc() after they are converted to gfp_mask
flags. In xlog_recover_add_to_cont_trans(), 0u is passed to kmem_realloc(),
instead of them. I guess it is preferred to use them, and here memory must
be allocated but don't have to be done with GFP_ATOMIC. So, this patch
changes it to KM_SLEEP.

Now that we use the VFS i_size field throughout XFS there is no need for the
i_new_size field any more given that the VFS i_size field gets updated
in -&gt;write_end before unlocking the page, and thus is always uptodate when
writeback could see a page.  Removing i_new_size also has the advantage that
we will never have to trim back di_size during a failed buffered write,
given that it never gets updated past i_size.

Note that currently the generic direct I/O code only updates i_size after
calling our end_io handler, which requires a small workaround to make
sure di_size actually makes it to disk.  I hope to fix this properly in
the generic code.

A downside is that we lose the support for parallel non-overlapping O_DIRECT
appending writes that recently was added.  I don't think keeping the complex
and fragile i_new_size infrastructure for this is a good tradeoff - if we
really care about parallel appending writers we should investigate turning
the iolock into a range lock, which would also allow for parallel
non-overlapping buffered writers.

There is no fundamental need to keep an in-memory inode size copy in the XFS
inode.  We already have the on-disk value in the dinode, and the separate
in-memory copy that we need for regular files only in the XFS inode.

Remove the xfs_inode i_size field and change the XFS_ISIZE macro to use the
VFS inode i_size field for regular files.  Switch code that was directly
accessing the i_size field in the xfs_inode to XFS_ISIZE, or in cases where
we are limited to regular files direct access of the VFS inode i_size field.

This also allows dropping some fairly complicated code in the write path
which dealt with keeping the xfs_inode i_size uptodate with the VFS i_size
that is getting updated inside -&gt;write_end.

Note that we do not bother resetting the VFS i_size when truncating a file
that gets freed to zero as there is no point in doing so because the VFS inode
is no longer in use at this point.  Just relax the assert in xfs_ifree to
only check the on-disk size instead.
