I think it would be even better to integrate this into fs/quota.c
and get rid of the extra copy entirely. The only thing you need
to do differently in case of 32 bit Q_GETQUOTA is the size
of the copy_{from,to}_user.
On a related topic, I just noticed
typedef struct fs_qfilestat {
__u64 qfs_ino; /* inode number */
__u64 qfs_nblks; /* number of BBs 512-byte-blks */
__u32 qfs_nextents; /* number of extents */
} fs_qfilestat_t;
typedef struct fs_quota_stat {
__s8 qs_version; /* version number for future changes */
__u16 qs_flags; /* XFS_QUOTA_{U,P,G}DQ_{ACCT,ENFD} */
__s8 qs_pad; /* unused */
fs_qfilestat_t qs_uquota; /* user quota storage information */
fs_qfilestat_t qs_gquota; /* group quota storage information */
__u32 qs_incoredqs; /* number of dquots incore */
__s32 qs_btimelimit; /* limit for blks timer */
__s32 qs_itimelimit; /* limit for inodes timer */
__s32 qs_rtbtimelimit;/* limit for rt blks timer */
__u16 qs_bwarnlimit; /* limit for num warnings */
__u16 qs_iwarnlimit; /* limit for num warnings */
} fs_quota_stat_t;
This one seems to have a more severe problem in x86_64 compat
mode. I haven't tried it, but isn't everything down from
gs_gquota aligned differently on i386?
