Files participating in the metadata directory tree are not accounted to the quota subsystem. Therefore, the i_[ugp]dquot pointers in struct xfs_inode are never used and should always be NULL. In the next patch we want to add a u64 count of fs blocks reserved for metadata btree expansion, but we don't want every inode in the fs to pay the memory price for this feature. The intent is to union those three pointers with the u64 counter, but for that to work we must guard against all access to the dquot pointers for metadata files. Signed-off-by: "Darrick J.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
