    Subject[PATCH 0/2] quota: Add mountpath based quota support
    Date
    Current quotactl syscall uses a path to a block device to specify the
    filesystem to work on which makes it unsuitable for filesystems that
    do not have a block device. This series adds a new syscall quotactl_path()
    which replaces the path to the block device with a mountpath, but otherwise
    behaves like original quotactl.

    This is done to add quota support to UBIFS. UBIFS quota support has been
    posted several times with different approaches to put the mountpath into
    the existing quotactl() syscall until it has been suggested to make it a
    new syscall instead, so here it is.

    I'm not posting the full UBIFS quota series here as it remains unchanged
    and I'd like to get feedback to the new syscall first. For those interested
    the most recent series can be found here: https://lwn.net/Articles/810463/
