[GIT PULL 11/14 for v6.17] vfs integrity

[Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org>]

Hey Linus,

/* Summary */
This adds the new FS_IOC_GETLBMD_CAP ioctl() to query metadata and
protection info (PI) capabilities. This ioctl returns information about
the files integrity profile. This is useful for userspace applications
to understand a files end-to-end data protection support and configure
the I/O accordingly.

For now this interface is only supported by block devices. However the
design and placement of this ioctl in generic FS ioctl space allows us
to extend it to work over files as well. This maybe useful when
filesystems start supporting PI-aware layouts.

A new structure struct logical_block_metadata_cap is introduced, which
contains the following fields:

- lbmd_flags:
  bitmask of logical block metadata capability flags

- lbmd_interval:
  the amount of data described by each unit of logical block metadata

- lbmd_size:
  size in bytes of the logical block metadata associated with each
  interval

- lbmd_opaque_size:
  size in bytes of the opaque block tag associated with each interval

- lbmd_opaque_offset:
  offset in bytes of the opaque block tag within the logical block
  metadata

- lbmd_pi_size:
  size in bytes of the T10 PI tuple associated with each interval

- lbmd_pi_offset:
  offset in bytes of T10 PI tuple within the logical block metadata

- lbmd_pi_guard_tag_type:
  T10 PI guard tag type
    
- lbmd_pi_app_tag_size:
   size in bytes of the T10 PI application tag

- lbmd_pi_ref_tag_size:
   size in bytes of the T10 PI reference tag

- lbmd_pi_storage_tag_size:
  size in bytes of the T10 PI storage tag

The internal logic to fetch the capability is encapsulated in a helper
function blk_get_meta_cap(), which uses the blk_integrity profile
associated with the device. The ioctl returns -EOPNOTSUPP, if
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INTEGRITY is not enabled.
