+Internal Inodes
+---------------
+
+XFS allocates several inodes when a filesystem is created. These are internal
+and not accessible from the standard directory structure. These inodes are
+only accessible from the superblock.
+
+Quota Inodes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Prior to version 5 filesystems, two inodes can be allocated for quota
+management. The first inode will be used for user quotas. The second inode
+will be used for group quotas or project quotas, depending on mount options.
+Group and project quotas are mutually exclusive features in these
+environments.
+
+In version 5 or later filesystems, each quota type is allocated its own inode,
+making it possible to use group and project quota management simultaneously.
+
+-  Project quota’s primary purpose is to track and monitor disk usage for
+   directories. For this to occur, the directory inode must have the
+   XFS\_DIFLAG\_PROJINHERIT flag set so all inodes created underneath the
+   directory inherit the project ID.
+
+-  Inodes and blocks owned by ID zero do not have enforced quotas, but only
+   quota accounting.
+
+-  Extended attributes do not contribute towards the ID’s quota.
+
+-  To access each ID’s quota information in the file, seek to the ID offset
+   multiplied by the size of xfs\_dqblk\_t (136 bytes).

+   Quota inode layout
+
+Quota information is stored in the data extents of the reserved quota inodes
+as an array of the xfs\_dqblk structures, where there is one array element for
+each ID in the system:
+
+.. code:: c
+
+    struct xfs_disk_dquot {
+         __be16                d_magic;
+         __u8                  d_version;
+         __u8                  d_flags;
+         __be32                d_id;
+         __be64                d_blk_hardlimit;
+         __be64                d_blk_softlimit;
+         __be64                d_ino_hardlimit;
+         __be64                d_ino_softlimit;
+         __be64                d_bcount;
+         __be64                d_icount;
+         __be32                d_itimer;
+         __be32                d_btimer;
+         __be16                d_iwarns;
+         __be16                d_bwarns;
+         __be32                d_pad0;
+         __be64                d_rtb_hardlimit;
+         __be64                d_rtb_softlimit;
+         __be64                d_rtbcount;
+         __be32                d_rtbtimer;
+         __be16                d_rtbwarns;
+         __be16                d_pad;
+    };
+    struct xfs_dqblk {
+         struct xfs_disk_dquot dd_diskdq;
+         char                  dd_fill[4];
+
+         /* version 5 filesystem fields begin here */
+         __be32                dd_crc;
+         __be64                dd_lsn;
+         uuid_t                dd_uuid;
+    };
+
+**d\_magic**
+    Specifies the signature where these two bytes are 0x4451
+    (XFS\_DQUOT\_MAGIC), or \`\`DQ'' in ASCII.
+
+**d\_version**
+    The structure version, currently this is 1 (XFS\_DQUOT\_VERSION).
+
+**d\_flags**
+    Specifies which type of ID the structure applies to:
+
+.. code:: c
+
+    #define XFS_DQ_USER  0x0001
+    #define XFS_DQ_PROJ  0x0002
+    #define XFS_DQ_GROUP 0x0004
+
+**d\_id**
+    The ID for the quota structure. This will be a uid, gid or projid based on
+    the value of d\_flags.
+
+**d\_blk\_hardlimit**
+    The hard limit for the number of filesystem blocks the ID can own. The ID
+    will not be able to use more space than this limit. If it is attempted,
+    ENOSPC will be returned.
+
+**d\_blk\_softlimit**
+    The soft limit for the number of filesystem blocks the ID can own. The ID
+    can temporarily use more space than by d\_blk\_softlimit up to
+    d\_blk\_hardlimit. If the space is not freed by the time limit specified
+    by ID zero’s d\_btimer value, the ID will be denied more space until the
+    total blocks owned goes below d\_blk\_softlimit.
+
+**d\_ino\_hardlimit**
+    The hard limit for the number of inodes the ID can own. The ID will not be
+    able to create or own any more inodes if d\_icount reaches this value.
+
+**d\_ino\_softlimit**
+    The soft limit for the number of inodes the ID can own. The ID can
+    temporarily create or own more inodes than specified by d\_ino\_softlimit
+    up to d\_ino\_hardlimit. If the inode count is not reduced by the time
+    limit specified by ID zero’s d\_itimer value, the ID will be denied from
+    creating or owning more inodes until the count goes below
+    d\_ino\_softlimit.
+
+**d\_bcount**
+    How many filesystem blocks are actually owned by the ID.
+
+**d\_icount**
+    How many inodes are actually owned by the ID.
+
+**d\_itimer**
+    Specifies the time when the ID’s d\_icount exceeded d\_ino\_softlimit. The
+    soft limit will turn into a hard limit after the elapsed time exceeds ID
+    zero’s d\_itimer value. When d\_icount goes back below d\_ino\_softlimit,
+    d\_itimer is reset back to zero.
+
+**d\_btimer**
+    Specifies the time when the ID’s d\_bcount exceeded d\_blk\_softlimit. The
+    soft limit will turn into a hard limit after the elapsed time exceeds ID
+    zero’s d\_btimer value. When d\_bcount goes back below d\_blk\_softlimit,
+    d\_btimer is reset back to zero.
+
+**d\_iwarns**; \ **d\_bwarns**; \ **d\_rtbwarns**
+    Specifies how many times a warning has been issued. Currently not used.
+
+**d\_rtb\_hardlimit**
+    The hard limit for the number of real-time blocks the ID can own. The ID
+    cannot own more space on the real-time subvolume beyond this limit.
+
+**d\_rtb\_softlimit**
+    The soft limit for the number of real-time blocks the ID can own. The ID
+    can temporarily own more space than specified by d\_rtb\_softlimit up to
+    d\_rtb\_hardlimit. If d\_rtbcount is not reduced by the time limit
+    specified by ID zero’s d\_rtbtimer value, the ID will be denied from
+    owning more space until the count goes below d\_rtb\_softlimit.
+
+**d\_rtbcount**
+    How many real-time blocks are currently owned by the ID.
+
+**d\_rtbtimer**
+    Specifies the time when the ID’s d\_rtbcount exceeded d\_rtb\_softlimit.
+    The soft limit will turn into a hard limit after the elapsed time exceeds
+    ID zero’s d\_rtbtimer value. When d\_rtbcount goes back below
+    d\_rtb\_softlimit, d\_rtbtimer is reset back to zero.
+
+**dd\_uuid**
+    The UUID of this block, which must match either sb\_uuid or sb\_meta\_uuid
+    depending on which features are set.
+
+**dd\_lsn**
+    Log sequence number of the last DQ block write.
+
+**dd\_crc**
+    Checksum of the DQ block.
+
+Real-time Inodes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+There are two inodes allocated to managing the real-time device’s space, the
+Bitmap Inode and the Summary Inode.
+
+Real-Time Bitmap Inode
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The real time bitmap inode, sb\_rbmino, tracks the used/free space in the
+real-time device using an old-style bitmap. One bit is allocated per real-time
+extent. The size of an extent is specified by the superblock’s sb\_rextsize
+value.
+
+The number of blocks used by the bitmap inode is equal to the number of
+real-time extents (sb\_rextents) divided by the block size (sb\_blocksize) and
+bits per byte. This value is stored in sb\_rbmblocks. The nblocks and extent
+array for the inode should match this. Each real time block gets its own bit
+in the bitmap.
+
+Real-Time Summary Inode
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The real time summary inode, sb\_rsumino, tracks the used and free space
+accounting information for the real-time device. This file indexes the
+approximate location of each free extent on the real-time device first by
+log2(extent size) and then by the real-time bitmap block number. The size of
+the summary inode file is equal to sb\_rbmblocks × log2(realtime device size)
+× sizeof(xfs\_suminfo\_t). The entry for a given log2(extent size) and
+rtbitmap block number is 0 if there is no free extents of that size at that
+rtbitmap location, and positive if there are any.
+
+This data structure is not particularly space efficient, however it is a very
+fast way to provide the same data as the two free space B+trees for regular
+files since the space is preallocated and metadata maintenance is minimal.
