Subject: [PATCH v2] xfs: return default quota limits for IDs without a dquot
Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2026 14:59:47 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260317065947.306954-1-ravising@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260312090810.1145908-1-ravising@redhat.com>
When an ID has no dquot on disk, Q_XGETQUOTA returns -ENOENT even
though default quota limits are configured and enforced against that
ID. This means unprivileged users who have never used any resources
cannot see the limits that apply to them.
When xfs_qm_dqget() returns -ENOENT for a non-zero ID, return a
zero-usage response with the default limits filled in from
m_quotainfo rather than propagating the error. This is consistent
with the enforcement behavior in xfs_qm_adjust_dqlimits(), which
pushes the same default limits into a dquot when it is first
allocated.

v2:
- Moved fix from VFS (fs/quota/quota.c) to XFS
(fs/xfs/xfs_qm_syscalls.c) per review feedback
- Return default limits on ENOENT instead of granting
unprivileged access to ID 0's dquot
