[Ocfs2-devel] [PATCH] quota: Allow negative usage of space and inodes

[Jan Kara]

For clustered filesystems, it can happen that space / inode usage goes
negative temporarily (because some node is allocating another node
is freeing and they are not completely in sync). So let quota code
allow this and change qsize_t so a signed type so that we don't
underflow the variables.
