tl;dr: gross layering violation.

This is layers below anything VFS related and as such is a a gross
layering violation. There are many operations done in XFS on inodes
outside the life cycle of the struct inode, and so we cannot safely
use anything in the struct inode outside of those contexts.

The VFS struct inode values are only valid inside the defined life
cycle of the VFS inode, and that means from xfs_setup_inode() to
xfs_fs_evict_inode()/xfs_inactive(). Any use of uid/gid/prid outside
those boundaries is completely internal to XFS and needs to be
treated as such.

Same layering violation.

NACK. This is a pure parent->child value inheritence internal to
XFS, and is way below the visibility of the VFS.

If this needs to be namespace aware, then convert the
ip->i_d.di_gid to the namespace structure dynamically for the call
to in_group_p().

The quota code assumes a direct relationship between the values in
the struct xfs_inode and the dquot ID. It is not a relationship that
namespaces enter into. namespace conversion should happen at the
edge of the filesystem quota subsystem, (i.e. into an xfs_dqid_t)
and the rest of the code left alone.

Same again - quota IDs are related to the on disk inode value, not
the VFS, namespace aware value.

PLease keep these as separate updates, that way we can see clearly
that we are updating both the VFS inode and the XFS inode here.

Which further empahsises the layer violation...

Same as the project ID changes - bulkstat is supposed to return the
raw on disk values, not namespace munged values.
