1 ext4: suppress inode growth for file systems w/o project quota
3 We have not added a new "extra" inode field in a very long time, and
4 the code to deal with moving the extended attributes down to make room
5 for the extra inode fields has bitrotted and can cause kernel BUGS.
7 Very few people will likely use project quotas (and those that do will
8 likely be creating a new file system from scratch) so as a temporary
9 pallative until we are sure the inode expansion code is all sane,
10 let's not try to expand the inode "extra" fields if the project
11 feature has not been enabled.
