Hi All: I find a problem when I use project quota, my base environment is radhat7.2 (kernel-3.10.y + e2fsprogs-1.42.9). It will be reproduced with the following steps: 1. mkfs.ext4 /dev/vdb1 2. mount /dev/vdb1 /mnt 3. touch /mnt/testfile 4. umount /mnt 5. Update kernel and e2fsprogs to *upstream stable version* 6. tune2fs -O quota,project /dev/vdb1 7. mount /dev/vdb1 /mnt 8. chattr -p 123 /mnt/testfile Execute fail and output: /bin/chattr: Value too large for defined data type while setting project on /mnt/aa The immediate reason is the following check, i_extra_isize is not updated. static int ext4_ioctl_setproject(struct file *filp, __u32 projid) { ... raw_inode = ext4_raw_inode(&iloc); if (!EXT4_FITS_IN_INODE(raw_inode, ei, i_projid)) { err = -EOVERFLOW; brelse(iloc.bh); goto out_unlock; } ... } So if I write something to testfile before "step 8" ,the chattr will execute successfully, because it trigger ext4_expand_extra_isize() to update i_extra_isize. So is this a BUG or I miss something?
