A cephfs-specific quota implementation has been available in the user-space fuse client for a while. This quota implementation allows an administrator to restrict the number of bytes and/or the number of files in a filesystem subtree. This quota implementation, however, is supported at the client-level only, which means that cooperation is required between different clients accessing the system. This obviously assumes that all clients are trusted entities and will respect the quotas, preventing users from exceeding the quota limits. Since the kernel client doesn't support quotas, it has not been possible to use it in a cluster where quotas are a requirement. This patchset is an RFC that adds kernel client support for cephfs quotas as it is currently implemented in the ceph fuse client. Note however that this patchset is not yet feature complete, as it only implements the max_files quota (max_bytes is still missing). ** Changes since v2 ** Rework after review from Yan, Zheng: - Dropped patch 0001 ("ceph: add seqlock for snaprealm hierarchy change detection") and use mdsc->snap_rwsem for walking the snaprealm hierarchy instead of adding a seqlock. This means that patches 0003 and 0004 needed to be reworked. - Added a NULL check in ceph_handle_quota() after the inode lookup with ceph_find_inode(). ** Changes since v1 ** Instead of trying to do a reverse path walk to find the "quota realm" for a given directory, this patchset is now using snaprealms. Thus, for testing it, a modified MDS is required: https://github.com/ukernel/ceph/tree/wip-cephfs-quota-realm This modified MDS creates a snaprealm when a quota is set in a directory. This means that a client needs only to walk up the snaprealm hierarchy to find a directory that has quotas instead of doing the full reverse path walking. Note however that this requires an extra patch that adds a seqlock (1st patch in series) to detect changes in the snaprealm hierarchy.
