That means, even if the i_blocks > is not correct in dquot_transfer() in ubifs, that's okey, because we > will never use this value, right? dquot_transfer() will use the value - when file F changes owner from user A to user B, then you need to decrement amount of space used by F from A's quota usage and add that amount to B's quota usage. And the amount of space is obtained via inode_get_bytes() which uses i_blocks and i_bytes. See __dquot_transfer() in fs/quota/dquot.c for details.
