Subject: [PATCH 0/2] fs/quota: Fix potential spectre v1 gadgets

Hi folks,

This series unifies XQM_MAXQUOTAS with MAXQUOTAS, which were both being
used to perform bounds checks on arrays, and then sanitizes 'type' so it
can't be used in speculative out-of-bounds array access.

Jeremy Cline (2):
  fs/quota: Replace XQM_MAXQUOTAS usage with MAXQUOTAS
  fs/quota: Fix spectre gadget in do_quotactl
