The htree directory index is a highly desirable feature for research
purposes and was meant to improve performance in our ext2/3 driver.
Unfortunately our implementation has two problems:
- It never really delivered any performance improvement.
- It appears to corrupt the filesystem in undetermined circumstances.
Strictly speaking dir_index is not required for read/write support in
ext2/3 and our limited ext4 support still works fine without it.
Regain stability in the ext2 driver by removing it. We may need it back
(fixed) if we want to support encrypted ext4 support but thanks to the
wonders of version control we can always revert this change and bring it
back.

use VOP_FSYNC() to perform the NFS server's Commit operation.
This patch adds a mnt_kern_flag called MNTK_USES_BCACHE which
is set by file systems that use the buffer cache. If this flag
is not set, the NFS server always does a VOP_FSYNC().
This should be ok for old file system modules that do not set
MNTK_USES_BCACHE, since calling VOP_FSYNC() is correct, although
it might not be optimal for file systems that use the buffer cache.

into namecache, to avoid cache trashing when doing large operations.
E.g., tar archive extraction is not usually followed by access to many
of the files created.
Right now, each VOP_LOOKUP() implementation explicitely knowns about
this quirk and tests for both MAKEENTRY flag presence and op != CREATE
to make the call to cache_enter(). Centralize the handling of the
quirk into VFS, by deciding to cache only by MAKEENTRY flag in VOP.
VFS now sets NOCACHE flag for CREATE namei() calls.
Note that the change in semantic is backward-compatible and could be
merged to the stable branch, and is compatible with non-changed
third-party filesystems which correctly handle MAKEENTRY.

The ext4 developers tend to tag Ext4-specific flags as
"incompatible" even when such features are not relevant for
read-only support. This is a consequence of the process
though which this filesystem is implemented without design
and the fact that some new features are not extensible to
ext2/3.
Organize the features according to what we support and sort
them so that we can now read-only mount filesystems with
some features that may be found in newly formatted ext4 fs.

The ext4 inode flags do not have equivalents for chflags (1)
and hold information that is private to the implementation.
The i_flag field in the inode is a better place to hold the Ext4
inode flags as it saves us from masking flags while setting or
getting attributes. It should also make things cleaner if we
implement write support for Ext4.

r260545 cleared the inode flags to fix corruption problems but
we still need to pass some EXT4 flags for the ext4 read-only

After r252890 we are naively attempting to pass through the
inode flags. This is technically incorrect as the ext2
inode flags don't match the UFS/system values used in
FreeBSD and a clean conversion is needed.
Some filtering was left in place so the change didn't cause
significant changes in FreeBSD but some of the garbage passed
is likely to be the cause for warning messages in linux.
Fix the issue by resetting the flags before conversion as was
done previously. This also means we will not pass the EXT4_*
inode flags into FreeBSD's inode.

Add definitions for e2fs_daddr_t, e4fs_daddr_t in addition
to the already existing e2fs_lbn_t and adjust them for ext4.
Other than making the code more readable these changes should
fix problems related to big filesystems.
Setting the proper types can be tricky so the process was
helped by looking at UFS. In our implementation, logical block
numbers can be negative and the code depends on it. In ext2,
block numbers are unsigned so it is convenient to keep
e2fs_daddr_t unsigned and use the complete 32 bits. In the
case of e4fs_daddr_t, while the value should be unsigned, for
ext4 we only need to support 48 bits so preserving an extra
bit from the sign is not an issue.
While here also drop the ext2_setblock() prototype that was
never used.

Basic support for extents was implemented by Zheng Liu as part
of his Google Summer of Code in 2010. This support is read-only
at this time.
In addition to extents we also support the huge_file extension
for read-only purposes. This works nicely with the additional
support for birthtime/nanosec timestamps and dir_index that
have been added lately.
The implementation may not work for all ext4 filesystems as
it doesn't support some features that are being enabled by
default on recent linux like flex_bg. Nevertheless, the feature
should be very useful for migration or simple access in
filesystems that have been converted from ext2/3 or don't use
incompatible features.
Special thanks to Zheng Liu for his dedication and continued
work to support ext2 in FreeBSD.
