It's OK as merge resolution, but I really wonder if that patch (taking quota initialization to filesystems) is a good idea. It adds boilerplate code that is easy to miss. And looking at what's done in e.g. ext2, I'd say that places where it's added are lousy - if we want to do that on directory modifications, we ought to take it into places that actually create directory entries. Not to mention that we never shrink directories there, so it should be just one call in ext2_add_link() instead of all that pile. Looks like a good case for a followup series, if nothing else. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
