Hi Xiubo,

What exactly is being fixed here?  get_quota_realm() is called with
retry=true, which means that no errors can be returned -- EAGAIN, the
only error that get_quota_realm() can otherwise generate, would be
handled internally by retrying.

Am I missing something that makes this qualify for stable?

Thanks,

                Ilya
