[PATCHSET 2/2] xfsprogs: generate mkfs.xfs config files

[Darrick J. Wong]

Hi all,

Every year, we generate a new mkfs.xfs configuration file to match the
stable feature set of that year's LTS kernel.  Right now I just do this
by copying the old configuration file and tweaking the values by hand.

Instead, let's create some library code that can emit the same
configuration variables that we've been shipping for some years now,
and hook that up to mkfs/xfs_db/xfs_spaceman so that we can generate
them either from the mkfs defaults or pre-existing filesystems.

If you're going to start using this code, I strongly recommend pulling
from my git trees, which are linked below.

With a bit of luck, this should all go splendidly.
Comments and questions are, as always, welcome.

[PATCH 1/5] mkfs: automatically upgrade autofsck earlier

[Darrick J. Wong]

From: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@kernel.org>

Move this chunk of code earlier in mkfs.xfs because a subsequent patch
will need the final value of cli.autofsck at the point where we do the
dry run reporting stuff.  Nobody changes cli.autofsck after
validate_sb_features().

[PATCH 2/5] mkfs: print config file for a given mkfs configuration

[Darrick J. Wong]

From: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@kernel.org>

Add a -c makecfg= switch to mkfs to emit a mkfs.xfs configuration file
documenting the user-visible filesystem featuresets of the configured
filesystem.  This can be used to emit default configuration files as we
do once a year for each LTS.

Note that geometry information is not written to the configuration file.

Shouldn't this be makecfg=xxx?

I think they all should be "=path" because they take file paths
specifically.  I'll amend this patch to change this to

/* config file */  [-c options=path,makecfg=path]\n\

Thanks for reviewing!  A Sashiko review (I can run that internally now)
generated some complaints about xfrog_write_mkfs_config not handling the
quota mkfs options on metadir filesystems, and that there are a couple
of V4 options that it should emit.  I'll resend the series with those
two pieces of new functionality.
