f2fs: support the inline xattrs

2013-08-26T11:15:23+00:00

0. modified inode structure
--------------------------------------
metadata (e.g., i_mtime, i_ctime, etc)
--------------------------------------
direct pointers [0 ~ 873]

inline xattrs (200 bytes by default)

indirect pointers [0 ~ 4]
--------------------------------------
node footer
--------------------------------------

1. setxattr flow
 - read_all_xattrs copies all the xattrs from inline and xattr node block.
 - handle xattr entries
 - write_all_xattrs copies modified xattrs into inline and xattr node block.

2. getxattr flow
 - read_all_xattrs copies all the xattrs from inline and xattr node block.
 - check target entries

3. Usage
 # mount -t f2fs -o inline_xattr $DEV $MNT

 Once mounted with the inline_xattr option, f2fs marks all the newly created
 files to reserve an amount of inline xattr space explicitly inside the inode
 block. Without the mount option, f2fs will not touch any existing files and
 newly created files as well.

f2fs: introduce __find_xattr for readability

2013-08-26T11:15:06+00:00

The __find_xattr is to search the wanted xattr entry starting from the
base_addr.

If not found, the returned entry is the last empty xattr entry that can be
allocated newly.

f2fs: support xattr security labels

2013-06-11T07:01:03+00:00

This patch adds the support of security labels for f2fs, which will be used
by Linus Security Models (LSMs).

Quote from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Security_Modules:
"Linux Security Modules (LSM) is a framework that allows the Linux kernel to
support a variety of computer security models while avoiding favoritism toward
any single security implementation. The framework is licensed under the terms of
the GNU General Public License and is standard part of the Linux kernel since
Linux 2.6. AppArmor, SELinux, Smack and TOMOYO Linux are the currently accepted
modules in the official kernel.".
