To me it would like a silly compromise.

I thought this over and yup, that is an overload if neither group nor project
are enabled, or we don't want to turn user quota off.

But even so, we currently also have overloads by checking group/project hints
before releasing any type of quota in xfs_qm_purge().  In this point, this fix
can reduce a bit overloads by moving those checkups to xfs_qm_purge_hints() if
we want to turn group/project quotas off.

If we considering to drop above hunk to release user quota separately, we finally
would have to walk through user quota to remove those hints again, i.e,

/* Remove group/project hints from user dquot */
STATIC int
xfs_qm_dqpurge_hints(
	struct xfs_dquot        *dqp,
	void                    *data)
{
	uint                    flags = *((uint *)data);
	struct xfs_dquot        *gdqp;
	struct xfs_dquot        *pdqp;

	xfs_dqlock(dqp);
	if (dqp->dq_flags & XFS_DQ_FREEING) {
		xfs_dqunlock(dqp);
		return EAGAIN;
	}

	/* If this quota has a hint attached, prepare for releasing it now */
        gdqp = dqp->q_gdquot;
	if (gdqp)
		dqp->q_gdquot = NULL;

	pdqp = dqp->q_pdquot;
	if (pdqp)
		dqp->q_pdquot = NULL;

	xfs_dqunlock(dqp);

	if (gdqp)
		xfs_qm_dqrele(gdqp);
	if (pdqp)
		xfs_qm_dqrele(pdqp);

	return 0;
}

void
xfs_qm_dqpurge_all()
{
	xfs_qm_dquot_walk(mp, XFS_DQ_USER, xfs_qm_dqpurge_hints, NULL);

	if (flags & XFS_QMOPT_UQUOTA)
		xfs_qm_dquot_walk(mp, XFS_DQ_USER, xfs_qm_dqpurge, NULL);
	if (flags & XFS_QMOPT_GQUOTA)
		xfs_qm_dquot_walk(mp, XFS_DQ_GROUP, xfs_qm_dqpurge, NULL);
	if (flags & XFS_QMOPT_PQUOTA)
		xfs_qm_dquot_walk(mp, XFS_DQ_PROJ, xfs_qm_dqpurge, NULL);
}

Above code is what I can figured out as per your suggestions for now, but it
would introduce overheads for walking through user dquots to release hints
separately if we want to turn user quota off.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
