Thanks for the clarification.  Now I can understand the use scenarios
via DMAPI.

Yep.  Except DMAPI, the only user of the done parameter is quota check, i.e,
xfs_qm_quotacheck():

        do {
                /*
                 * Iterate thru all the inodes in the file system,
                 * adjusting the corresponding dquot counters in core.
                 */
                error = xfs_bulkstat(mp, &lastino, &count,
                                     xfs_qm_dqusage_adjust,
                                     structsz, NULL, &done);
                if (error)
                        break;

        } while (!done);

But if we finally could perform quota check in parallel, the done parameter
can totally be removed as flush_workqueue() can ensure that is completed.
Actually, I just did it as the last patch in parallel quota check which is
not yet posted.

Thanks,
