Darrick J. Wong 130b5965da xfs: reserve quota for target dir expansion when renaming files
[ Upstream commit 41667260bc84db4dfe566e3f6ab6da5293d60d8d ]

XFS does not reserve quota for directory expansion when renaming
children into 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 rename() to exceed quota.

Rename operations don't always expand the target directory, and we allow
a rename to proceed with no space reservation if we don't need to add a
block to the target directory to handle the addition.  Moreover, the
unlink operation on the source directory generally does not expand the
directory (you'd have to free a block and then cause a btree split) and
it's probably of little consequence to leave the corner case that
renaming a file out of a directory can increase its size.

As with link and unlink, 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.

Because rename is its own special tricky animal, we'll patch xfs_rename
directly to reserve quota to the rename transaction.  We'll leave
cleaning up the rest of xfs_rename for the metadata directory tree
patchset.

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.
