So this also changes statfs() for non-directory quota uses. It will
now *always* report project quota info for a file, whether directory
quotas are in use or not. This is going to confuse users who see the
full filesystem info when they statfs a directory, then see project
quota limits when they statfs a file.

i.e. all this patch does is move the inconsistency in reporting to
non-directory based project quota users.

So from that perspective, this is not a viable solution.

What is a viable solution is to add an explicit dirquota mount
option (which we've recently discussed) that explicitly presents all
directory quota specific behaviours to userspace without tying them
to the internal project quota-based on-disk implementation. This is
the only sane way to solve this problem as it tells the filesysetm
exactly what behaviour set it should be exposing to userspace.

IOWs, the statfs code should probably end up looking like this:

-	if ((ip->i_d.di_flags & XFS_DIFLAG_PROJINHERIT) &&
+	if ((mp->m_flags & XFS_MOUNT_DIRQUOTA) &&
 	    ((mp->m_qflags & (XFS_PQUOTA_ACCT|XFS_PQUOTA_ENFD))) ==
 			      (XFS_PQUOTA_ACCT|XFS_PQUOTA_ENFD))
 		xfs_qm_statvfs(ip, statp);

Cheers,

Dave.
