Hi all, The following patches propose an implementation of project support for ext4. A project is an aggregate of unrelated inodes which might scatter in different directories. Inodes belongs to a project possesses a same identification i.e. 'project ID', just like every inode has its user/group indentification. The following patches adds project quota as supplement to the former uer/group quota types. This project ID of an inode is iherited from its parent direcotry and saved as an internal field of ext4 inode. This is not the first existed attepmtion to add project quta support for ext4. Patches of subtree quota support which was posted by Dmity Monakhov in 2012 (http://lwn.net/Articles/506064/) implemented the similar feature in a different way. Rather than saving the project (or subtree) ID as an internal inode field, those patches manages the ID as extented attributes. We rebased both patch sets onto the same kernel version and run benchmakrs respectively to comparing the peformance difference. It is worth noting that patches from Lai Siyao and Niu Yawei (quota: remove-dqptr_sem, http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.ext4/44341/) improve the performance of quota enforcement significantly, which can be seen clearly from following results. It is obvious that extended attribute implementation has performance impact when creating files. That is why we choose to push the patches which use internal inode field to save project ID.
