Today, Q_XGETQUOTA and Q_GETQUOTA will both return -ENOENT on XFS if a quota doesn't exist for that ID: quotactl(Q_GETQUOTA|USRQUOTA, "/dev/sdb2", 123456789, 0x7ffdf2edbc80) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) quotactl(Q_XGETQUOTA|USRQUOTA, "/dev/sdb2", 123456789, 0x7ffdf2edbc10) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) It seems like the *NEXT* variants (on xfs at least?) may as well continue to do the same... But on ext4, I see 0 returned for a nonexistent quota: quotactl(Q_GETQUOTA|USRQUOTA, "/dev/sdb1", 123456789, {bhardlimit=0, bsoftlimit=0, curspace=0, ihardlimit=0, isoftlimit=0, curinodes=0, ...}) = 0 quotactl(Q_XGETQUOTA|USRQUOTA, "/dev/sdb1", 123456789, {version=1, flags=XFS_USER_QUOTA, fieldmask=0, id=123456789, blk_hardlimit=0, blk_softlimit=0, ino_hardlimit=0, ino_softlimit=0, bcount=0, icount=0, ...}) = 0 So the difference doesn't seem to be XGETQUOTA vs GETQUOTA, rather it's the filesystem handling the call? Still, we do need a way to pass back "No more quotas to find" from Q_[X]GETNEXTQUOTA; XFS will do -ENOENT, but if -ENOENT and -ESRCH already have specific meanings on non-xfs filesystems, I'm not sure where we go from there.
