RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Patch to allow quota usage update through quotactl

Allow gfs2 to update quota usage through the quotactl syscall so that quotacheck can be performed through the userland quota tools.

Comment 1 RHEL Program Management 2011-01-20 22:30:23 UTC
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion
in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release. Product Management has 
requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential
inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed 
products. This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update release.

Comment 2 Abhijith Das 2011-01-20 22:31:48 UTC
posted above patch to rhkernel-list for inclusion in RHEL6.1. I thought I had this patch posted for 6.1 already, turns out that's not the case :(. It's upstream though.

updated patch

The only thing different is the addition of the following definitions to include/linux/dqblk_xfs.h. This was part of a series of updates to xfs-quota-related code upstream by Christoph. It didn't look to me that anything other than these symbols (FS_DQ_BCOUNT, in particular) were required for GFS2 quotacheck to operate correctly.

 /*
+ * Accounting values.  These can only be set for filesystem with
+ * non-transactional quotas that require quotacheck(8) in userspace.
+ */
+#define FS_DQ_BCOUNT           (1<<12)
+#define FS_DQ_ICOUNT           (1<<13)
+#define FS_DQ_RTBCOUNT         (1<<14)
+#define FS_DQ_ACCT_MASK                (FS_DQ_BCOUNT | FS_DQ_ICOUNT | FS_DQ_RTBCOUNT)
+

Comment 7 Nate Straz 2011-04-26 20:29:38 UTC
Verified that we can set quotas using setquota which uses the quotactl() system call.
