Add the mke2fs.conf configuration option which causes the hugefiles to
be aligned to the beginning of the disk.  This is important if the the
reason for aligning the hugefiles is to support hard-drive specific

We can set flex_bg count only up to 2^30 with profile

Akira Fujita a131053ef0 mke2fs: set upper limit to flex_bg count
mke2fs -G option allows root user to set flex_bg count (power of 2).
However ext4 has bad metadata layout if we specify more than or equal to
2^32 to mke2fs -G, because of the 32bit shift operation
in ext2fs_allocate_group_table().

And the maximum block group count of ext4 is 2^32 -1 (ext4_group_t
s_groups_count), so diallow more than 2^32 flex_bg count.

Steps to reproduce:

   # mke2fs -t ext4 -G 4294967296 DEV

   # dumpe2fs DEV
   ...
   Flex block group size:    1          <----- flex_bg is 1!
   ...

Lukas Czerner 47fee2ef6a e2fsprogs: introduce ext2fs_close_free() helper
Currently there are many uses of ext2fs_close() which might be wrong.
First of all ext2fs_close() does not set the ext2_filsys pointer to NULL
so the caller is responsible for clearing it, however there are some
cases there we do not do it.

Second of all very small number of users of ext2fs_close() actually
check the return value. If there is a problem in ext2fs_close() it will
not even free the ext2_filsys structure, but majority of users expect it
to do so.

To fix both problems this commit introduces a new helper
ext2fs_close_free() which will not only check for the return value and
free the ext2_filsys structure if the call to ext2fs_close2() failed,
but it will also set the ext2_filsys pointer to NULL.

Replace every use of ext2fs_close() in e2fsprogs tools with
ext2fs_close_free() - there is no real reason to keep using
ext2fs_close().

Eric Sandeen 272258e1df e2fsprogs: revise and extend chattr(1) and chattr usage()
The chattr(1) manpage and chattr usage() output were missing some flags.

Add those, and make some other minor cosmetic fixes.

(I've left out the 'B' (EXT2_COMPRBLK_FL) flag, because
it's not actually used anywhere, and I can't figure out
how it differs from 'c' (EXT2_COMPR_FL))

Also, because the matrix of filesystems & flags is quite large,
refer to filesystem-specific manpages for detailed discussion
of flags supported by those filesystems, rather than trying to
cover it all in this manpage.  I'll send those manpage
updates to the appropriate lists a bit later.

It's a bit strange to accept revision levels higher than

At least the kernel will mount the fs readonly if it's too

Also fix a precedence problem with:

	if (fe_flags & mask == 0)

needed to be included.

Also remove quota.pc and installation rules for libquota, since this
library is never going to be something that we can export externally
anyway.  Eventually we'll want to clean up the interfaces and move the
external publishable interfaces to the libext2fs library, and then
rename what's left from libquota.a to libsupport.a for internal use
only.

Zheng Liu c7c3775443 chattr: improve the description for 'j' option in manpage
Ext4 file system also supports to set/clear 'j' attribute, but it just
say that this option is only useful for ext3 in manpage.  This commit
fixes it.

Akira Fujita 9e7294d391 e2fsprogs: Disallow tune2fs enabling sparse_super with ext4 meta_bg enabled
When meta_bg feature is enabled, group descriptor block is allocated
every 128 block group (or every 64 block group if 64bit feature is
enabled).

In such situation, files in block group more than #128 will be removed
if sparse_super feature is enabled with tune2fs and afterwards
necessary e2fsck running.

Because tune2fs does not reallocate group descriptor blocks but just
set sparse_super feature.  If ext4 has sparse_super,
ext2fs_descriptor_block_loc2() called by e2fsck thinks the block group
(e.g. #128) that it has group descriptor block at the head offset. But
that offset is used as backup super block before.  So e2fsck fixes
ext4 based on invalid group descriptor blocks and this cause data
lost.

The patch avoids this problem simply by disallow tune2fs enabling
sparse_super if meta_bg is enabled.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create ext4 which has meta_bg, ^sparse_super and 129+ block groups.
	# mke2fs -t ext4 -O meta_bg,^resize_inode,^sparse_super DEV 17G
	# mount DEV /MP

2. Create direcotry and files which use block group #128's metadata.
	# echo $((8192*128+1)) > /sys/fs/ext4/DEV/inode_goal
	# mkdir /MP/DIR
	# for i in $(seq 1 100); do dd if=/dev/urandom of=/MP/DIR/file$i bs=1024 count=10; done

3. Enable sparse_super with tune2fs then execute e2fsck.
   Data in block group #128 will be lost!!
	# umount DEV
	# tune2fs -O sparse_super DEV
	# e2fsck/e2fsck -yf DEV

Theodore Ts'o 71d920e302 mke2fs: minor bugfixes for mk_hugefiles
Interpret "zero_hugefiles" relation in mke2fs.conf as a boolean value,
as documented in the man page.

If the hugefile is larger than 2GB, set the large_file file system
feature so e2fsck doesn't complain.

Theodore Ts'o e5397d7ae9 blkid: suppress Coverity warning
The getopt() function will never let optarg be NULL (at least without
using the GNU double-colon extension, which we don't use because it's
not portable), so don't bother checking for that case.  It's harmless,
but it triggers a Coverity warning elsewhere, since it thinks optarg
could in fact be NULL.

Theodore Ts'o 23a1b98722 mke2fs: add make_hugefile feature
This feature is enabled via settings in /etc/mke2fs.conf.  For
example:

	hugefile = {
		features = extent,huge_file,flex_bg,uninit_bg,dir_nlink,extra_isize,^resize_inode,sparse_super2
		inode_size = 128
		num_backup_sb = 0
		packed_meta_blocks = 1
		make_hugefiles = 1
		inode_ratio = 4194304
		hugefiles_dir = /database
		hugefiles_uid = 120
		hugefiles_gid = 50
		hugefiles_name = storage
		hugefiles_digits = 4
		hugefiles_size = 1G
		num_hugefiles = 0
	}

Then "mke2fs -T hugefile /dev/sdXX" will create as many 1G files
needed to fill the file system.
