[PATCH 3/3] xstat: Implement a requestable extra result to procure some inode flags [ver #4]

[This is, for the moment, to be considered an example.  Do we actually want to
 export these flags?  Should they be a full member of struct xstat?]

Allow an extra result to be requested that makes available some inode flags,
along the lines of BSD's st_flags and Ext2/3/4's inode flags.  This is
requested by setting XSTAT_REQUEST_INODE_FLAGS in the request_mask.  If the
filesystem supports it for that file, then this will be set in result_mask and
16 bytes of information will be appended to the xstat buffer, if sufficient
buffer space is available.

The extra result is laid out according to the following structure:

	struct xstat_inode_flags {
		unsigned long long	st_flags;
		unsigned long long	st_supported_flags;
	};

where the filesystem indicates the flags it supports for that file and the
flags that are set on that file.  The structure is of length:

	XSTAT_LENGTH_INODE_FLAGS

The flags come in three sets:

 (1) User settable flags (to be consistent with the BSD st_flags field):

	UF_NODUMP	Do not dump this file.
	UF_IMMUTABLE	This file is immutable.
	UF_APPEND	This file is append-only.
	UF_OPAQUE	This directory is opaque (unionfs).
	UF_NOUNLINK	This file can't be removed or renamed.
	UF_COMPRESSED	This file is compressed.
	UF_HIDDEN	This file shouldn't be displayed in a GUI.

     The UF_SETTABLE constant is the union of the above flags.

 (2) Superuser settable flags (to be consistent with the BSD st_flags field):

	SF_ARCHIVED	This file has been archived.
	SF_IMMUTABLE	This file is immutable.
	SF_APPEND	This file is append-only.
	SF_NOUNLINK	This file can't be removed or renamed.
	SF_HIDDEN	This file is a snapshot inode.

     The SF_SETTABLE constant is the union of the above flags.

 (3) Linux-specific flags:

	XSTAT_LF_MAGIC_FILE	Magic file, such as found in procfs and sysfs.
	XSTAT_LF_SYNC		File is written synchronously.
	XSTAT_LF_NOATIME	Atime is not updated on this file.
	XSTAT_LF_JOURNALLED_DATA Data modifications to this file are journalled.
	XSTAT_LF_ENCRYPTED	This file is encrypted.
	XSTAT_LF_SYSTEM		This file is a system file (FAT/NTFS/CIFS).
	XSTAT_LF_TEMPORARY	This file is a temporary file (NTFS/CIFS).
	XSTAT_LF_OFFLINE	file is currently unavailable (CIFS).


The Ext4 filesystem has been modified to map certain Ext4 inode flags to the
above:

	EXT4 FLAG		MAPPED TO
	=======================	=======================================
	EXT4_COMPR_FL		UF_COMPRESSED
	EXT4_SYNC_FL		XSTAT_LF_SYNC
	EXT4_IMMUTABLE_FL	UF_IMMUTABLE and SF_IMMUTABLE
	EXT4_APPEND_FL		UF_APPEND and SF_APPEND
	EXT4_NODUMP_FL		UF_NODUMP
	EXT4_NOATIME_FL		XSTAT_LF_NOATIME
	EXT4_JOURNAL_DATA_FL	XSTAT_LF_JOURNALLED_DATA
	EXT4_DIRSYNC_FL		XSTAT_LF_SYNC (directories only)

With this patch applied, the test program given in the patch that introduced
the xstat() syscalls now does this:

	[root at andromeda ~]# chattr +ia /var/cache/fscache/cull_atimes
	[root at andromeda ~]# lsattr /var/cache/fscache/cull_atimes
	----ia-------e- /var/cache/fscache/cull_atimes
	[root at andromeda ~]# /tmp/xstat /var/cache/fscache/cull_atimes
	xstat(/var/cache/fscache/cull_atimes) = 168
	results=5fef
	  Size: 78088           Blocks: 168        IO Block: 4096    regular file
	Device: 08:06           Inode: 13          Links: 1
	Access: (0600/-rw-------)  Uid: 0
	Gid: 0
	Access: 2010-06-29 18:17:41.092290108+0100
	Modify: 2010-06-25 17:25:53.320261493+0100
	Change: 2010-07-02 00:46:51.278803967+0100
	Create: 2010-06-25 15:17:39.711172889+0100
	Inode version: f585ab73h
	0098: 0000000000060006 0000000e00060027

The extra results are hex dumped at the end in 64-bit chunks.  As can be seen
above, st_flags=0x0000000000060006 and st_supported_flags=0000000e00060027.
That's showing that the file now has [SU]F_IMMUTABLE and [SU]F_APPEND enabled.

Note also that XSTAT_REQUEST_INODE_FLAGS (0x4000) is present in the result_mask
value (0x5fef) returned to userspace, and the amount of data returned by
xstat() has increased from 152 to 168 as appropriate for 16 bytes of extra
data.
