mkfs doesn't initialize the quota inodes to NULLFSINO as it
does for the other internal inodes. This leads to check for two
values (0 and NULLFSINO) to make sure if a quota inode is
valid.

Solve that problem by initializing the values to NULLFSINO
if they are 0.

Note that these values are not written back to on-disk
superblock unless some quota is enabled on the filesystem.

Hi,

in this case, wouldn't be better to make mkfs initialize the quota inodes with
NULLFSINO instead of need to convert it into kernel?

Hi Carlos,

Yes. I will send a patch for mkfs also (to initialize it to NULLFSINO).

We still need the kernel fix for the already existing filessytems.

There coment needs to point out that this is changing the in-memory
superblock value right here, so we don't need to make changing
sb_pquotino dependent on the superblock having support for this
feature.

Cheers,

Dave.

But, we are not just changing just for sb_pquotino, right ?

Since we are changing all the fields independent of superblock
supporting sb_pquotino, I thought the comment should be generic.

Sure, but those other two fields are always present in the
superblock...

So why is it safe to modify this when sb_pquotino isn't valid in the
superblock (i.e. v4 superblock) and the only valid on-disk value for
an unused section of the superblock is zero?

That's what the comment needs to explain.

Cheers,

Dave.

How about this:

/*
 * older mkfs doesn't initialize quota inodes to NULLFSINO
 * This leads to in-core values having two different values
 * for a quota inode to be invalid: 0 and NULLFSINO.
 * Change it to a single value NULLFSINO.
 *
 * Note that this change affect only the in-core values. 
 * These values are not written back to disk unless any
 * quota information is written to the disk. Even in that
 * case, sb_pquotino field is not written to disk unless
 * the superblock supports pquotino.
