Hi,
I've pushed the patch of Ext4 as well as e2fsprogs. Shilong has added test
suits for ext4 project quota in xfstest, and will push patches soon. I
will write
necessary documentation both for manual and linux/Documentation/fs.
Hopefully, at least the kernel patches of ext4 project quota will be merged
soon.
Regards,
Li Xi
