Right now ext4_statfs_project() does quota lookup by id every time.
This is costly operation, especially if there is no inode who hold
reference to this quota and dqget() reads it from disk each time.

Function ext4_statfs_project() could be moved into generic quota code,
it is required for every filesystem which uses generic project quota.

Hum, I'm kind of puzzled here: Your patch seems to be concerned with
performance but how is this any faster than what we do now?
dquot_initialize() will look up three dquots instead of one in the current
code? Oh, I guess you are concerned about *repeated* calls to statfs() and
thus repeated lookups of dquot structure? And this patch effectively caches
looked up dquots in the inode?

That starts to make some sense but still, even if dquot isn't cached in any
inode, we still hold on to it (it's in the free_list) until shrinker evicts
it. So lookup of such dquot should be just a hash table lookup which should
be very fast. Then there's the cost of dquot_acquire() / dquot_release()
that get always called on first / last get of a dquot. So are you concerned
about that cost? Or do you really see IO happening to fetch quota structure
on each statfs call again and again? The only situation where I could see
that happening is when the quota structure would be actually completely
empty (i.e., not originally present in the quota file). But then this
cannot be a case when there's actually an inode belonging to this
project...

So I'm really curious about the details of what you are seeing as the
changelog / patch doesn't quite make sense to me yet.

Yep, we have seen than disaster with non-present quota blocks.
For consistent quota performance loss should be much less significant,
but caching would not hurt.

Tools like "df" calls statfs for all mountpoints.
These inodes are never reclaimed because pinned by vfsmount.
