Andreas Gruenbacher 866eef48d8 gfs2: Add trusted xattr support
Add support for an additional filesystem version (sb_fs_format = 1802).
When a filesystem with the new version is mounted, the filesystem
supports "trusted.*" xattrs.

In addition, version 1802 filesystems implement a form of forward
compatibility for xattrs: when xattrs with an unknown prefix (ea_type)
are found on a version 1802 filesystem, those attributes are not shown
by listxattr, and they are not accessible by getxattr, setxattr, or
removexattr.

This mechanism might turn out to be what we need in the future, but if
not, we can always bump the filesystem version and break compatibility
instead.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
