This patch introduces the quota override flag to btrfs_fs_info, and a change to quota limit checking code to temporarily allow for quota to be overridden for processes with CAP_SYS_RESOURCE. It's useful for administrative programs, such as log rotation, that may need to temporarily use more disk space in order to free up a greater amount of overall disk space without yielding more disk space to the rest of userland. Eventually, we may want to add the idea of an operator-specific quota, operator reserved space, or something else to allow for administrative override, but this is perhaps the simplest solution.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
