[RFC PATCH 0/4] fs: Add support for Windows file attributes

["Pali Rohár" <pali@kernel.org>]

This is RFC patch series, first attempt to implement support for
additional file attributes via FS_IOC_FSGETXATTR and FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR
ioctl APIs, which are used by Windows applications and Windows
filesystems. It is not final, nor precise implementation, it is mean to
show how the API can look like and how it can be used. Please let me
know what do you think about it, if it is the right direction, or how to
move forward.

This RFC patch series contains API definition, VFS integration and
implementation only for SMB client / cifs.ko filesystem. Note that
cifs.ko does not set S_IMMUTABLE flag on local inode because
enforcement of immutable flag has to be done on server.

Design of this API comes from slightly longer discussion:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/20241227121508.nofy6bho66pc5ry5@pali/t/#u

And conclusion was to abandon any idea of xattr APIs and uses
exclusively only the FS_IOC_FSGETXATTR and FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR ioctls.

There is no statx API extension yet.

Simple test client attrs which uses this new API is bellow.
