e2be04c7f9 License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with a license
Many user space API headers have licensing information, which is either
incomplete, badly formatted or just a shorthand for referring to the
license under which the file is supposed to be.  This makes it hard for
compliance tools to determine the correct license.

Update these files with an SPDX license identifier.  The identifier was
chosen based on the license information in the file.

GPL/LGPL licensed headers get the matching GPL/LGPL SPDX license
identifier with the added 'WITH Linux-syscall-note' exception, which is
the officially assigned exception identifier for the kernel syscall
exception:

   NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
   services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
   of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".

This exception makes it possible to include GPL headers into non GPL
code, without confusing license compliance tools.

Headers which have either explicit dual licensing or are just licensed
under a non GPL license are updated with the corresponding SPDX
identifier and the GPLv2 with syscall exception identifier.  The format
is:
        ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR SPDX-ID-OF-OTHER-LICENSE)

SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding shorthand, which can be
used instead of the full boiler plate text.  The update does not remove
existing license information as this has to be done on a case by case
basis and the copyright holders might have to be consulted. This will
happen in a separate step.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.  See the previous patch in this series for the
methodology of how this patch was researched.

8b37524962 quota: add new quotactl Q_XGETNEXTQUOTA
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.

This allows filesystems to do efficient iteration in kernelspace,
much like extN filesystems do in userspace when asked to report
all active quotas.

The patch adds a d_id field to struct qc_dqblk so that we can
pass back the id of the quota which was found, and return it
to userspace.

Today, filesystems such as XFS require getpwent-style iterations,
and for systems which have i.e. LDAP backends, this can be very
slow, or even impossible if iteration is not allowed in the
configuration.

af30cb446d quota: Add a new quotactl command Q_XGETQSTATV
XFS now supports three types of quotas (user, group and project).

Current version of Q_XGETSTAT has support for only two types of quotas.
In order to support three types of quotas, the interface, specifically
struct fs_quota_stat, need to be expanded. Current version of fs_quota_stat
does not allow expansion without breaking backward compatibility.

So, a quotactl command and new fs_quota_stat structure need to be added.

This patch adds a new command Q_XGETQSTATV to quotactl() which takes
a new data structure fs_quota_statv. This new data structure provides
support for future expansion and backward compatibility.

Callers of the new quotactl command have to set the version of the data
structure being passed, and kernel will fill as much data as requested.
If the kernel does not support the user-space provided version, EINVAL
will be returned. User-space can reduce the version number and call the same
quotactl again.
