SubjectRe: [PATCH 0/3] xfs: change available ranges in quota check
Hi Christoph,

I'd like to explain the reason why I sent the patch series.

Here is an example where I activated user quota and set each softlimit and
hardlimit as follows.

| softlimit | hardlimit
-------------------------------
block | 1M | 2M
-------------------------------
inode | 3 | 5

I succeeded to create files up to the inode hardlimit using touch command.
The quota information is shown as follows.

# xfs_quota -x -c 'report -u -b -i -h' /mnt/xfs2
User quota on /mnt/xfs2 (/dev/vdb)
Blocks Inodes
User ID Used Soft Hard Warn/Grace Used Soft Hard Warn/Grace
---------- --------------------------------- ---------------------------------
root 0 0 0 00 [------] 3 0 0 00 [------]
xfstest01 0 1M 2M 00 [------] 5 3 5 00 [6 days]
~~~~ ~~

However, I failed to create and add another file due to the quota limitation.

$ touch /mnt/xfs2/dir00/file05
touch: cannot touch `/mnt/xfs2/dir00/file05': Disk quota exceeded

It seems the inode quota works well.

Regarding the block quota, I got the quota limitation message even if I
created a 2MB file which is equal to the hardlimit of disk quota.

$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/xfs2/dir00/file01 bs=2M count=1
dd: writing `/mnt/xfs2/dir00/file01': Disk quota exceeded
1+0 records in ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
0+0 records out
2093056 bytes (2.1 MB) copied, 0.00561516 s, 373 MB/s

I'd like to change the available range of the block quota, and
also change the inode quota check to the same way as the block check
introduced in PATCH 2/3 to make it more general.

Regards.
