I remember them adding it four months ago or so. Looking at
http://linux.bkbits.net/linux-2.5
it seems to be mostly in changeset 1.1803.133.1
Now if I could only figure out a way to get the quota tools to work with
a network filesystem :)
(NFS bypasses the kernel for quotas by hacking directly into the
userspace tools which is no
better than the hack we have to do with the samba client utilities for
setting quotas out of
kernel today).
It would be fairly easy for me to hook cifs into getting called from
do_quotactl (in fs/quota.c) but that
interface only works with local filesystems that have real devices (not
deviceless filesystems like
network and some cluster filesystems). I find it very strange that the
quota interface takes
a path converts it to a local device and then converts it to a
superblock. If only we could define
a sys call to allow deviceless filesystems to hook into the kernel quota
interface - it looks like a small change
to create a one off of sys_quotactl.
