Relocation data allocations are quite tricky for simple quotas. The
basic data relocation sequence is (ignoring details that aren't relevant
to this fix):
- create a fake relocation data fs root
- create a fake relocation inode in that root
- for each data extent:
- preallocate a data extent on behalf of the fake inode
- copy over the data
- for each extent
- swap the refs so that the original file extent now refers to the new
extent item
- drop the fake root, dropping its refs on the old extents, which lets
us delete them.
Done naively, this results in storing an extent item in the extent tree
whose owner_ref points at the relocation data root and a no-op squota
recording, since the reloc root is not a legit fstree. So far, that's
OK. The problem comes when you do the swap, and leave an extent item
owned by this bogus root as the real permanent extents of the file. If
the file then drops that ref, we free it and no-op account that against
the fake relocation root. Essentially, this means that relocation is
simple quota "extent laundering", since we re-own the extents into a
fake root.
Simple quotas very intentionally doesn't have a mechanism for
transferring ownership of extents, as that is exactly the complicated
thing we are trying to avoid with the new design. Further, it cannot be
correctly done in this case, since at the time you create the new
"real" refs, there is no way to know which was the original owner before
relocation unless we track it.
Therefore, it makes more sense to trick the preallocation to handle
relocation as a special case and note the proper owner ref from the
beginning. That way, we never write out an extent item without the
correct owner ref that it will eventually have.
This could be done by wiring a special root parameter all the way
through the allocation code path, but to avoid that special case
touching all the code, take advantage of the serial nature of relocation
to store the src root on the relocation root object. Then when we finish
the prealloc, if it happens to be this case, prepare the delayed ref
appropriately.
We must also add logic to handle relocating adjacent extents with
different owning roots. Those cannot be preallocated together in a
cluster as it would lose the separate ownership information.
This is obviously a smelly bit of code, but I think it is the best
solution to the problem, given the relocation implementation.

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.
