The Hurd is using inode fields which restricts it from using more
advanced ext4 file system features, due to design choices made over a
decade ago. By giving the Hurd an extended attribute index field we
allow it to move the translator and author fields out of the core
inode fields, and hopefully we can get rid of ugly hacks such as
EXT4_OS_HURD and EXT4_MOUNT2_HURD_COMPAT somday.For more information please see:

Since old mbcache code is gone, let's rename new code to mbcache since
number 2 is now meaningless. This is just a mechanical replacement.Signed-off-by: Jan Kara

The conversion is generally straightforward. The only tricky part is
that xattr block corresponding to found mbcache entry can get freed
before we get buffer lock for that block. So we have to check whether
the entry is still valid after getting buffer lock.Signed-off-by: Jan Kara

This patch adds new interfaces to create and destory cache,
ext4_xattr_create_cache() and ext4_xattr_destroy_cache(), and remove
the cache creation and destory calls from ex4_init_xattr() and
ext4_exitxattr() in fs/ext4/xattr.c.fs/ext4/super.c has been changed so that when a filesystem is mounted
a cache is allocated and attched to its ext4_sb_info structure.fs/mbcache.c has been changed so that only one slab allocator is
allocated and used by all mbcache structures.Signed-off-by: T. Makphaibulchoke

SUSE is carrying out of tree patches for Rich ACL support for ext4 as
they didn't get upstream due to opposition of some VFS maintainers.
Reserve xattr index for Rich ACLs so that it cannot be taken by
anything else which would force users to backup and reset their Rich
ACLs on files.Signed-off-by: Jan Kara

Operations which modify extended attributes may need extra journal
credits if inline data is used, since there is a chance that some
extended attributes may need to get pushed to an external attribute
block.Changes to reflect this was made in xattr.c, but they were missed in
fs/ext4/acl.c. To fix this, abstract the calculation of the number of
credits needed for xattr operations to an inline function defined in
ext4_jbd2.h, and use it in acl.c and xattr.c.Also move the function declarations used in inline.c from xattr.h
(where they are non-obviously hidden, and caused problems since
ext4_jbd2.h needs to use the function ext4_has_inline_data), and move
them to ext4.h.Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o"

Not all architectures (in particular, sparc64) have empty_zero_page.
So instead of copying from empty_zero_page, use memset to clear the
inline data by signalling to ext4_xattr_set_entry() via a magic
pointer value, EXT4_ZERO_ATTR_VALUE, which is defined by casting -1 to
a pointer.This fixes a build failure on sparc64, and the memset() should be more
efficient than using memcpy() anyway.Signed-off-by: Tao Ma

Ted has sent out a RFC about removing this feature. Eric and Jan
confirmed that both RedHat and SUSE enable this feature in all their
product. David also said that "As far as I know, it's enabled in all
Android kernels that use ext4." So it seems OK for us.And what's more, as inline data depends its implementation on xattr,
and to be frank, I don't run any test again inline data enabled while
xattr disabled. So I think we should add inline data and remove this
config option in the same release.[ The savings if you disable CONFIG_EXT4_FS_XATTR is only 27k, which
isn't much in the grand scheme of things. Since no one seems to be
testing this configuration except for some automated compile farms, on
balance we are better removing this config option, and so that it is
effectively always enabled. -- tytso ]Cc: David Brown

In case we rename a directory, ext4_rename has to read the dir block
and change its dotdot's information. The old ext4_rename encapsulated
the dir_block read into itself. So this patch adds a new function
ext4_get_first_dir_block() which gets the dir buffer information so
the ext4_rename can handle it properly. As it will also change the
parent inode number, we return the parent_de so that ext4_rename() can
handle it more easily.ext4_find_entry is also changed so that the caller(rename) can tell
whether the found entry is an inlined one or not and journaling the
corresponding buffer head.Signed-off-by: Tao Ma

This patch let add_dir_entry handle the inline data case. So the
dir is initialized as inline dir first and then we can try to add
some files to it, when the inline space can't hold all the entries,
a dir block will be created and the dir entry will be moved to it.Also for an inlined dir, "." and ".." are removed and we only use
4 bytes to store the parent inode number. These 2 entries will be
added when we convert an inline dir to a block-based one.[ Folded in patch from Dan Carpenter to remove an unused variable. ]

SELinux would like to implement a new labeling behavior of newly created
inodes. We currently label new inodes based on the parent and the creating
process. This new behavior would also take into account the name of the
new object when deciding the new label. This is not the (supposed) full path,
just the last component of the path.This is very useful because creating /etc/shadow is different than creating
/etc/passwd but the kernel hooks are unable to differentiate these
operations. We currently require that userspace realize it is doing some
difficult operation like that and than userspace jumps through SELinux hoops
to get things set up correctly. This patch does not implement new
behavior, that is obviously contained in a seperate SELinux patch, but it
does pass the needed name down to the correct LSM hook. If no such name
exists it is fine to pass NULL.Signed-off-by: Eric Paris

We need to make sure that existing ext3 filesystems can also avail the
new fields that have been added to the ext4 inode. We use
s_want_extra_isize and s_min_extra_isize to decide by how much we should
expand the inode. If EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_EXTRA_ISIZE feature is set
then we expand the inode by max(s_want_extra_isize, s_min_extra_isize ,
sizeof(ext4_inode) - EXT4_GOOD_OLD_INODE_SIZE) bytes. Actually it is
still an open question about whether users should be able to set
s_*_extra_isize smaller than the known fields or not.This patch also adds the functionality to expand inodes to include the
newly added fields. We start by trying to expand by s_want_extra_isize
bytes and if its fails we try to expand by s_min_extra_isize bytes. This
is done by changing the i_extra_isize if enough space is available in
the inode and no EAs are present. If EAs are present and there is enough
space in the inode then the EAs in the inode are shifted to make space.
If enough space is not available in the inode due to the EAs then 1 or
more EAs are shifted to the external EA block. In the worst case when
even the external EA block does not have enough space we inform the user
that some EA would need to be deleted or s_min_extra_isize would have to
be reduced.Signed-off-by: Andreas Dilger
