Otherwise, ext4 file systems with the quota feature enable will get a
very confusing "No such process" error message if the quota code is
built as a mdoule and the quota_v2 module has not been loaded.

  Thanks for the fix. Should I merge it via my tree or do you plan to do it
via your tree?

I'm happy to keep the patch in my tree (since I need it for my ext4
quota testing), unless you'd like to take it.  It seems unlikely to
cause any conflicts with any changes you might have in your quota
tree, yes?

  Exactly. There shouldn't be any conflicts so just keep it in your tree.
You can add to the patch:

Great, thanks.

BTW, do you have any plans to work on getting repquota support for
ocfs2 and ext4 with the internal quota support into quotactl(2) and
quotatools?  It's missing functionality that I think users who want to
switch to the internal quota support will very much care about.

The work list that I have currently for ext4 w/ internal quota support
are:

1)  Debugfs support for manipulating the quota inode directly.  (So we
can introduce fs corruptions and make sure e2fsck deals
appropriately).

2)  Make sure e2fsck preserves the quota limits information when it
repairs the quota information, and that it notices a missing quota
record in the quota inode.

3)  Make sure e2fsck notices repairs a quota inode which is corrupted
in some way (and not just contains missing or incorrect usage
information).

4)  More regression tests in e2fsprogs.

5) Add some kind of functional replacement for repquota.  If
quotactl(2) support is not forthcoming in the near future, at the very
least debugfs should have a way of dumping out the repquota
information for an unmounted ext4 file system with internal quotas
enabled.

Can anyone think of other things which might be missing?

  As Carlos mentioned, it kind-of works. If repquota(8) doesn't have a way
to iterate over quota structures directly, it iterates over entries in
/etc/passwd and uses Q_GETQUOTA to find the information. It is not a
perfect solution (e.g. when you have a huge LDAP database instead of
/etc/passwd) but in lots of cases it works just fine.

  I have it on my todo list for a long time. The problem is noone wants it
enough to get to the top of the list... Also it won't be completely trivial
interface because we'll have to return some handle with which we could
associate scanning state. My plan would be to likely return an ordinary
read-only file handle (mostly to avoid various problems with what happens
when process exits without closing the handle or what happens on fork)
where f_pos would mean [ug]id to report next and reading would fill the
buffer with quota structures (if_dqblk + [ug]id). But I haven't tried
coding this...
