features/quota : Introducing inode quota
==========================================================================
                             Inode quota
==========================================================================
= Currently, the only way to retrieve the number of files/objects in a   =
= directory or volume is to do a crawl of the entire directory/volume.   =
= This is expensive and is not scalable.                                 =
=                                                                        =
= The proposed mechanism will provide an easier alternative to determine =
= the count of files/objects in a directory or volume.                   =
=                                                                        =
= The new mechanism proposes to store count of objects/files as part of  =
= an extended attribute of a directory. Each directory's extended        =
= attribute value will indicate the number of files/objects present      =
= in a tree with the directory being considered as the root of the tree. =
=                                                                        =
= The count value can be accessed by performing a getxattr().            =
= Cluster translators like afr, dht and stripe will perform aggregation  =
= of count values from various bricks when getxattr() happens on the key =
= associated with file/object count.                                     =
A new interface is introduced:
------------------------------
        limit-objects  : limit the number of inodes at directory level
        list-objects   : list the directories where the limit is set
        remove-objects : remove the limit from the directory
==========================================================================
CLI COMMAND:
gluster volume quota <volname> limit-objects <path> <number> [<percent>]
* <number> is a hard-limit for number of objects limitation for path "<path>"
  If hard-limit is exceeded, creation of file/directory is no longer
permitted.
* <percent> is a soft-limit for number of objects creation for path "<path>"
  If soft-limit is exceeded, a warning is issued for each creation.
CLI COMMAND:
gluster volume quota <volname> remove-objects [path]
==========================================================================
CLI COMMAND:
gluster volume quota <volname> list-objects [path] ...
Sample output:
------------------
  Path                   Hard-limit Soft-limit   Used  Available
Soft-limit exceeded?
Hard-limit exceeded?
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
  /dir                      10       80%          10       0
Yes
        Yes
==========================================================================
[root@snapshot-28 dir]# ls
a  b  file11  file12  file13  file14  file15  file16  file17
[root@snapshot-28 dir]# touch a1
touch: cannot touch `a1': Disk quota exceeded
* Nine files are created in directory "dir" and directory is included in
* the
count too. Hence the limit "10" is reached and further file creation
fails
==========================================================================
Note: We have also done some re-factoring in cli for volume name
validation. New function cli_validate_volname is created
==========================================================================
