Q_XGETNEXTQUOTA is exactly like Q_XGETQUOTA, except that it will return quota information for the id equal to or greater than the id requested. In other words, if the requested id has no quota, the command will return quota information for the next higher id which does have a quota set. If no higher id has an active quota, -ESRCH is returned.Actually, is -ESRCH the right return value? It seems XFS traditionally returns -ENOENT when id doesn't exist. So that would look more logical to me.Hm, I was just going by the quotactl manpage, TBH, which says: ESRCH No disc quota is found for the indicated user. But yes, you are right, it is ENOENT for xfs... argh. I suppose the quotactl manpage could use an update as well, then.
Yeah, so VFS quotas use ESRCH when quota for particular fs is not enabled (while ENOENT means device you passed in doesn't exist). So probably a solution that keeps XFS and VFS interfaces most selfconsistent is to return ENOENT from Q_XGETNEXTQUOTA and ESRCH from Q_GETNEXTQUOTA. I'll update your patches in this sense in the comments and changelogs. But XFS patches (which I don't carry) need updating the actual code...
