The reason is similar with the comment in ubifs_getattr().

The quota space is accounted in bytes. So why don't you store appropriate
number of bytes the file consumes in i_blocks / i_bytes? Reiserfs can also
have files occupying only say 100 bytes and everything works properly
there so I don't see why ubifs needs to differ.

Ha, yes, we did not keep i_blocks in ubifs currently. Because we have
no blocks in ubifs. Although we can simulate a i_block for quota, I
did not do it. Let me try to show what I am thinking here.

(1).Block file system are counting space with blocks. Then the quota
could works in (dquot_alloc_block & i_blocks) way. I mean, account
spaces by dquot_alloc_block() and FIOQSIZE can get the qsize from
i_blocks.

(2). But ubifs has no blocks, then I choose another way to do it,
(quot_alloc_space & i_size). That means, we account quota spaces
in ubifs by dquot_alloc_space() and want FIOSIZE to get i_size
of inodes. Then there is no notion of *block* but only space.

So, I want to make FIOSIZE more flexible here to introduce a get_qsize()
into inode_operations.

But when you use dquot_alloc_space(), then i_blocks / i_bytes will be
updated accordingly by quota code (after all, those values are used when
inode gets transferred between users on chown to update quota information
accordingly). So I don't see a reason why you should need to use i_size in
FIOSIZE.

Yes, dquot_alloc_space() would update i_blocks. But ubifs_iget() would
never set i_blocks. So i_blocks would be 0 if you get inode from flash
again. Yes, I can make ubifs to maintain a i_blocks. But.....

As a side note, I think that using inode size as the amount of space used
is wrong. I believe even ubifs has a notion of how many bytes of storage
the file occupies and *this* information should be fed into quota subsystem
and updated via dquot_alloc_space(). That way it will be more or less
consistent with how quota for other filesystems works as well.

.... TBH, there is a little different with other filesystems. I did not
use the "disk" space, but the file space in ubifs quota, although dquot
means disk quota. Same with btrfs quota. If we use disk space for quota,
the most common problem from user is that: why I did not reach the limit
but I can not write any byte. COW in btrfs or out-place-updating in
ubifs makes this problem much worse.

So I choose file space here for ubifs.

However this is more or less filesystem internal decision so I can live with ubifs doing
it either way...
