Unlike file data integrity the xattr data integrity was not checked
before some explicit access to the attribute was made.
This could leave in the system a number of corrupted extended attributes
which will be detected only at access time and possibly at a very late
time compared to the time the corruption actually happened.
This patch adds the ability to check for extended attribute integrity
on first GC scan pass (similar to file data integrity check). This allows
for all present attributes to be completly verified before any use of them.
In order to work correctly this patch also needs the patch allowing
JFFS2 to discriminate between recoverable and non recoverable errors
on extended attributes.

SELinux would like to implement a new labeling behavior of newly created
inodes. We currently label new inodes based on the parent and the creating
process. This new behavior would also take into account the name of the
new object when deciding the new label. This is not the (supposed) full path,
just the last component of the path.
This is very useful because creating /etc/shadow is different than creating
/etc/passwd but the kernel hooks are unable to differentiate these
operations. We currently require that userspace realize it is doing some
difficult operation like that and than userspace jumps through SELinux hoops
to get things set up correctly. This patch does not implement new
behavior, that is obviously contained in a seperate SELinux patch, but it
does pass the needed name down to the correct LSM hook. If no such name
exists it is fine to pass NULL.

In particular, remove the bit in the LICENCE file about contacting
Red Hat for alternative arrangements. Their errant IS department broke
that arrangement a long time ago -- the policy of collecting copyright
assignments from contributors came to an end when the plug was pulled on
the servers hosting the project, without notice or reason.
We do still dual-license it for use with eCos, with the GPL+exception
licence approved by the FSF as being GPL-compatible. It's just that nobody
has the right to license it differently.

In jffs2_release_xattr_datum(), it refers xd->refcnt to ensure
whether releasing xd is allowed or not.
But we can't hold xattr_sem since this function is called under
spin_lock(&c->erase_completion_lock). Thus we have to refer it
without any locking.
This patch redefine xd->refcnt as atomic_t. It enables to refer
xd->refcnt without any locking.

In the followinf situation, an explicit delete marker is not
necessary, because we can certainlly detect those obsolete
xattr_datum or xattr_ref on next mounting.
- When to delete xattr_datum node.
- When to delete xattr_ref node on removing inode.
- When to delete xattr_ref node on updating xattr.
This patch rids writing delete marker in those situations.

- When xdatum is removed, a new xdatum with 'delete marker' is
written. (version==0xffffffff means 'delete marker')
- When xref is removed, a new xref with 'delete marker' is written.
(odd-numbered xseqno means 'delete marker')
- delete_xattr_(datum/xref)_delay() are new deletion functions
are added. We can only use them if we can detect the target
obsolete xdatum/xref as a orphan or errir one.
(e.g when inode deletion, or detecting crc error)

We'll be using a proper list of nodes in the jffs2_xattr_datum and
jffs2_xattr_ref structures, because the existing code to overwrite
them is just broken. Put it in the common part at the front of the
structure which is shared with the jffs2_inode_cache, so that the
jffs2_link_node_ref() function can do the right thing.

Remove jffs2_garbage_collect_xattr(c, ic).
jffs2_garbage_collect_xattr_datum/ref() are called from gc.c directly.
In original implementation, jffs2_garbage_collect_xattr(c, ic) returns
with holding a spinlock if 'ic' is inode_cache. But it returns after
releasing a spinlock if 'ic' is xattr_datum/ref.
It looks so confusable behavior. Thus, this patch makes caller manage
locking/unlocking.

This attached patches provide xattr support including POSIX-ACL and
SELinux support on JFFS2 (version.5).
There are some significant differences from previous version posted
at last December.
The biggest change is addition of EBS(Erase Block Summary) support.
Currently, both kernel and usermode utility (sumtool) can recognize
xattr nodes which have JFFS2_NODETYPE_XATTR/_XREF nodetype.
In addition, some bugs are fixed.
- A potential race condition was fixed.
- Unexpected fail when updating a xattr by same name/value pair was fixed.
- A bug when removing xattr name/value pair was fixed.
The fundamental structures (such as using two new nodetypes and exclusion
mechanism by rwsem) are unchanged. But most of implementation were reviewed
and updated if necessary.
Espacially, we had to change several internal implementations related to
load_xattr_datum() to avoid a potential race condition.
