mainlining shenanigans
137c541821
With the recent addition of filesystem checksum types other than CRC32c,
it is not anymore hard-coded which checksum type a btrfs filesystem uses.
Up to now there is no good way to read the filesystem checksum, apart from
reading the filesystem UUID and then query sysfs for the checksum type.
Add a new csum_type and csum_size fields to the BTRFS_IOC_FS_INFO ioctl
command which usually is used to query filesystem features. Also add a
flags member indicating that the kernel responded with a set csum_type and
csum_size field.
For compatibility reasons, only return the csum_type and csum_size if
the BTRFS_FS_INFO_FLAG_CSUM_INFO flag was passed to the kernel. Also
clear any unknown flags so we don't pass false positives to user-space
newer than the kernel.
To simplify further additions to the ioctl, also switch the padding to a
u8 array. Pahole was used to verify the result of this switch:
The csum members are added before flags, which might look odd, but this
is to keep the alignment requirements and not to introduce holes in the
structure.
$ pahole -C btrfs_ioctl_fs_info_args fs/btrfs/btrfs.ko
struct btrfs_ioctl_fs_info_args {
__u64 max_id; /* 0 8 */
__u64 num_devices; /* 8 8 */
__u8 fsid[16]; /* 16 16 */
__u32 nodesize; /* 32 4 */
__u32 sectorsize; /* 36 4 */
__u32 clone_alignment; /* 40 4 */
__u16 csum_type; /* 44 2 */
__u16 csum_size; /* 46 2 */
__u64 flags; /* 48 8 */
__u8 reserved[968]; /* 56 968 */
/* size: 1024, cachelines: 16, members: 10 */
};

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.
