[PATCH 10/18] xfs: define parent pointer xattr format

[Allison Henderson <allison.henderson@oracle.com>]

From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>

We need to define the parent pointer attribute format before we
start adding support for it into all the code that needs to use it.
The EA format we will use encodes the following information:

	name={parent inode #, parent inode generation, dirent offset}
	value={dirent filename}

The inode/gen gives all the information we need to reliably identify
the parent without requiring child->parent lock ordering, and allows
userspace to do pathname component level reconstruction without the
kernel ever needing to verify the parent itself as part of ioctl
calls.

By using the dirent offset in the EA name, we have a method of
knowing the exact parent pointer EA we need to modify/remove in
rename/unlink without an unbound EA name search.

By keeping the dirent name in the value, we have enough information
to be able to validate and reconstruct damaged directory trees.
While the diroffset of a filename alone is not unique enough to
identify the child, the {diroffset,filename,child_inode} tuple is
sufficient. That is, if the diroffset gets reused and points to a
different filename, we can detect that from the contents of EA. If a
link of the same name is created, then we can check whether it
points at the same inode as the parent EA we current have.

[achender: rebased, changed __unint32_t to xfs_dir2_dataptr_t,
	   changed p_ino to xfs_ino_t and p_namelen to uint8_t,
	   moved to xfs_da_format for xfs_dir2_dataptr_t]
