Merge tag 'ceph-for-4.17-rc1' of git://github.com/ceph/ceph-client
Pull ceph updates from Ilya Dryomov: "The big ticket items are: - support for rbd "fancy" striping (myself). The striping feature bit is now fully implemented, allowing mapping v2 images with non-default striping patterns. This completes support for --image-format 2. - CephFS quota support (Luis Henriques and Zheng Yan). This set is based on the new SnapRealm code in the upcoming v13.y.z ("Mimic") release. Quota handling will be rejected on older filesystems. - memory usage improvements in CephFS (Chengguang Xu). Directory specific bits have been split out of ceph_file_info and some effort went into improving cap reservation code to avoid OOM crashes. Also included a bunch of assorted fixes all over the place from Chengguang and others" * tag 'ceph-for-4.17-rc1' of git://github.com/ceph/ceph-client: (67 commits) ceph: quota: report root dir quota usage in statfs ceph: quota: add counter for snaprealms with quota ceph: quota: cache inode pointer in ceph_snap_realm ceph: fix root quota realm check ceph: don't check quota for snap inode ceph: quota: update MDS when max_bytes is approaching ceph: quota: support for ceph.quota.max_bytes ceph: quota: don't allow cross-quota renames ceph: quota: support for ceph.quota.max_files ceph: quota: add initial infrastructure to support cephfs quotas rbd: remove VLA usage rbd: fix spelling mistake: "reregisteration" -> "reregistration" ceph: rename function drop_leases() to a more descriptive name ceph: fix invalid point dereference for error case in mdsc destroy ceph: return proper bool type to caller instead of pointer ceph: optimize memory usage ceph: optimize mds session register libceph, ceph: add __init attribution to init funcitons ceph: filter out used flags when printing unused open flags ceph: don't wait on writeback when there is no more dirty pages ...

the identification of large disk space consumers relatively quick, as
no 'du' or similar recursive scan of the file system is required.
+Finally, Ceph also allows quotas to be set on any directory in the system.
+The quota can restrict the number of bytes or the number of files stored
+beneath that point in the directory hierarchy. Quotas can be set using
+extended attributes 'ceph.quota.max_files' and 'ceph.quota.max_bytes', eg:
+
+ setfattr -n ceph.quota.max_bytes -v 100000000 /some/dir
+ getfattr -n ceph.quota.max_bytes /some/dir
+
+A limitation of the current quotas implementation is that it relies on the
+cooperation of the client mounting the file system to stop writers when a
+limit is reached. A modified or adversarial client cannot be prevented
+from writing as much data as it needs.
