As everyone knows, HEAD(2.0) already supports quota. It has been done by 
Fanyong.
Currently, a redesign and reimplementation for porting quota to kdmu is 
going on. Its main tasks
include:
1. support new osd api
2. build separate quota connections between quota master and quota 
slaves, instead of using ldlm
    reverse import.
Certainly, I will do some optimization for quota code at the same time. 
Other issues will be handled
in the future.
