The patch titled quota: introduce DQUOT_QUOTA_SYS_FILE flag has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was quota-introduce-dquot_quota_sys_file-flag.patch This patch was dropped because an updated version will be merged The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: quota: introduce DQUOT_QUOTA_SYS_FILE flag From: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx> If filesystem can handle quota files as system files hidden from users, we can skip a lot of cache invalidation, syncing, inode flags setting etc. when turning quotas on, off and quota_sync. Allow filesystem to indicate that it is hiding quota files from users by DQUOT_QUOTA_SYS_FILE flag.
