Linux kernel source tree
871b9316e7
XFS does not reserve quota for directory expansion when linking or unlinking children from a directory. This means that we don't reject the expansion with EDQUOT when we're at or near a hard limit, which means that unprivileged userspace can use link()/unlink() to exceed quota. The fix for this is nuanced -- link operations don't always expand the directory, and we allow a link to proceed with no space reservation if we don't need to add a block to the directory to handle the addition. Unlink operations generally do not expand the directory (you'd have to free a block and then cause a btree split) and we can defer the directory block freeing if there is no space reservation. Moreover, there is a further bug in that we do not trigger the blockgc workers to try to clear space when we're out of quota. To fix both cases, create a new xfs_trans_alloc_dir function that allocates the transaction, locks and joins the inodes, and reserves quota for the directory. If there isn't sufficient space or quota, we'll switch the caller to reservationless mode. This should prevent quota usage overruns with the least restriction in functionality.

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 Restructured Text 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.
