vfs/ext3/4 quota allows the administrator to push out the grace time for soft quota with the setquota -T command: setquota -T [ -u | -g ] [ -F quotaformat ] name block-grace inode-grace -a | filesystem... -T, --edit-times Alter times for individual user/group when softlimit is enforced. Times block-grace and inode-grace are specified in seconds or can be string 'unset'. Essentially, if you do "setquota -T -u username 1d 1d" and "username" is over their soft quotas and into their grace time, it will extend the grace time expiry to 1d from now. xfs can't do this, today. The patch below is a first cut at allowing us to do this, and userspace updates are needed as well (I have those in a patch stack.) I'm not looking so much for patch review right now, though, what I'm wondering is if this is a change we can make from the ABI perspective? Because today, if you try to pass in a UID other than 0 (i.e. the default grace period) it just gets ignored by the kernel, not rejected. So there's no real way to know that the grace period adjustment failed on an older kernel. We could consider that a bug and fix it, or consider it a change in behavior that we can't just make without at least some form of versioning. Thoughts? Anyway, the patch below moves the disk quota grace period adjustment out from "if id == 0" and allows the change for any ID; it only sets the default grace value in the "id == 0" case.
