I noticed that callers of xfs_qm_vop_dqalloc use the following code to
compute the anticipated uid of the new file:
mapped_fsuid(idmap, &init_user_ns);
whereas the VFS uses a slightly different computation for actually
assigning i_uid:
mapped_fsuid(idmap, i_user_ns(inode));
Technically, these are not the same things. According to Christian
Brauner, the only time that inode->i_sb->s_user_ns != &init_user_ns is
when the filesystem was mounted in a new mount namespace by an
unpriviledged user. XFS does not allow this, which is why we've never
seen bug reports about quotas being incorrect or the uid checks in
xfs_qm_vop_create_dqattach tripping debug assertions.
However, this /is/ a logic bomb, so let's make the code consistent.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
