This was a hack to be able to mount ext4 filesystems read-only while not
supporting all the features. We now support all those features so it
doesn't make sense to keep the undocumented hack.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
It is useful to know exactly what features may be lacking when trying to
mount ext4 filesystems.

ext4 on linux has always supported more than 32000 directories through
the dir_nlink feature, but FreeBSD was unable to catch up on this feature.
As part of the 64 bit inode changes nlink_t has been extended and this
feature is now possible.

From the linux tune2fs(8) manpage:
"Allow the kernel to initialize bitmaps and inode tables and keep a high
watermark for the unused inodes in a filesystem, to reduce e2fsck(8) time.
This first e2fsck run after enabling this feature will take the full time,
but subsequent e2fsck runs will take only a fraction of the original time,
depending on how full the file system is."

The htree dir_index is perhaps one of the most characteristic
features of the linux ext3 implementation. It was removed

so it is now in good shape to bring back.

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.

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.

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.

This is a port of NetBSD's GSoC 2012 Ext3 HTree directory indexing
by Vyacheslav Matyushin. It was cleaned up and enhanced for FreeBSD
by Zheng Liu (lz@).
This is an excellent example of work shared among different projects:
Vyacheslav was able to look at an early prototype from Zheng Liu who
was also able to check the code from Haiku (with permission).
As in linux, the feature is not available by default and must be
enabled explicitly with tune2fs. We still do not support the
workarounds required in readdir for NFS.

In the ext2fs driver we have a mixture of headers:
- The ext2_ prefixed headers have strong influence from NetBSD
and are carry specific ext2/3/4 information.
- The unprefixed headers are inspired on UFS and carry implementation
specific information.
Do some small adjustments so that the information is easier to
find coming from either UFS or the NetBSD implementation.

e2fs_maxcontig was modelled after UFS when bringing the
"Orlov allocator" to ext2. On UFS fs_maxcontig is kept in the
superblock and is used by userland tools (fsck and growfs),
In ext2 this information is volatile so it is not available
for userland tools, so in this case it doesn't have sense
to carry it in the in-memory superblock.
Also remove a pointless check for MAX(1, x) > 0.

We also try to make better use of the fs flags instead of
trying adapt the code according to the fs structures. In
the case of subsecond timestamps and birthtime we now
check that the feature is explicitly enabled: previously
we only checked that the reserved space was available and
silently wrote them.
This approach is much safer, especially if the filesystem
happens to use embedded inodes or support EAs.

When using big inodes there is sufficient space in ext3 to
keep extra resolution and birthtime (creation) timestamps.
The appropriate fields in the on-disk inode have been approved
for a long time but support for this in ext3 has not been
widely distributed.
In preparation for ext4 most linux distributions have enabled
by default such bigger inodes and some people use nanosecond
timestamps in ext3. We now support those when the inode is big
enough and while we do recognize the EXT4F_ROCOMPAT_EXTRA_ISIZE,
we maintain the extra timestamps even when they are not used.
An additional note by Bruce Evans:
We blindly accept unrepresentable tv_nsec in VOP_SETATTR(), but
all file systems have always done that. When POSIX gets around
to specifying the behaviour, it will probably require certain
rounding to the fs's resolution and not rejecting the request.
This unfortunately means that syscalls that set times can't
really tell if they succeeded without reading back the times
using stat() or similar and checking that they were set close
enough.

The feature has been standard for a while in UFS as a means to reduce
fragmentation, therefore maintaining consistent performance with
filesystem aging. This is also very similar to what ext4 calls
"delayed allocation".
In his 2010 GSoC, Zheng Liu ported and benchmarked the missing
FANCY_REALLOC code to find more consistent performance improvements than
with the preallocation approach.
