Also removed the --enable-dynamic-static configure option.
Unfortunately the usefulness of building e2fsck statically is gone on
all modern distributions, since everything else on the system is built
dynamically these days. In fact on some distributions it is almost
impossible to build programs statically any more.

Recent e2fsprogs (1.40.3 and higher) fsck compares primary superblock to
backups, and if things differ, it forces a full check. However, the
kernel has a penchant for updating flags the first time a feature is
used - attributes, large files, etc.
This is a bad idea, and we should break the kernel of this habit,
especially for the ext4 feature flags. But for now, let's make e2fsck
avoid forcing a full check and backup except when absolutely
necessary.

Previously "e2fsck -fD" on a non-htree directory would sort the
directory alphabetically by name. That's stupid. Better to sort the
directory by inode number, since that will optimize performance much
more significantly than sorting by name!

If the primary superblock differs from the backup superblock in
certain key respects, force a full check (if e2fsck was invoked in
preen mode). If the filesystem check passes cleanly, and the
filesystem was opened in read/write mode, then write the primary
superblock to all of the backups.

E2fsck currently only retries with the backup superblock if the
primary superblock is missing (e.g., overwritten with garbage). If
the superblock is just corrupted enough that it looks like ext2/3/4
superblock, but it is corrupt enough that ext2fs_open2() returns an
error, e2fsck stops without retrying. Let's fix this oversight.

atoi() does not check for errors so it shouldn't be used for human
input. For example, if the user enters the command "e2fsck -C -n" and
forgets that -C requires an argument, the -n will be used as the
argument to -C, and not parsed as an option. When using sscanf(),
this error case can be detected.

A recent change to e2fsck_add_dir_info() to use tdb files to check
filesystems with a very large number of filesystems had a typo which
caused us to resize the wrong data structure. This would cause a
array overrun leading to malloc pointer corruptions. Since we
normally can very accurately predict how big the the dirinfo array
needs to be, this bug only got triggered on very badly corrupted
filesystems.
Thanks to Andreas Dilger for submitting the test case which discovered
this problem, and to Kalpak Shah for writing a random testing script
which created the test case.

Recently, one of our customers found this message in pass2 of e2fsck
while doing some regression testing:
"Entry '4, 0x695a, 0x81ff, 0x0040, 0x8320, 0xa192, 0x0021' in ??? (136554) has
rec_len of 14200, should be 26908."
Both the displayed rec_len and the "should be" value are bogus. The
reason is that salvage_directory sets a offset beyond blocksize
leading to bogus messages.

Add an extra validity test in check_ext_attr(). If an attribute's
e_value_size is zero the current code does not allocate a region for it
and as a result the e_value_offs value is not verified. However, if
e_value_offs is very large then the later call to
ext2fs_ext_attr_hash_entry() can dereference bad memory and crash
e2fsck.

This patch changes ext2fs_open() to set EXT2_FLAG_MASTER_SB_ONLY by
default. This avoids some problems in e2fsck (reported by Jim Garlick)
where a corrupt journal can end up writing the bad superblock to the
backups. In general, only e2fsck (after the filesystem is clean),
tune2fs, and resize2fs should change the backup superblocks by default.
Most callers of ext2fs_open() should not be touching anything where the
backups should be touched. So let's change the defaults to avoid
potential problems.

The Linux floppy driver is a bit different from the other block device
drivers, in that if the device has been opened with O_EXCL, it disallows
another open(), even if the second open() does not have the O_EXCL flag.
So this patch moves the call to ext2fs_get_device_size() so that if it
returns EBUSY, e2fsck can close the filesystem, retry the device size,
and then reopen it. This rather complicated approach is required since
we need to know the blocksize of the filesystem before we can call
ext2fs_get_device_size().

I've been investigating why e2fsck refuses to restore the backup superblock
of a partition with a broken primary superblock.
The partition in question has a block size of 4096, and mke2fs reports that
backup superblocks were created on blocks 32768, 98304, 163840, ...
When running e2fsck, get_backup_sb starts by guessing a block size of 1024
and backup superblock at block 8193. I'm not sure why, but it actually finds
a superblock at this location, so returns a context with superblock 8193,
blocksize 1024.
Later on, ext2fs_open2() tries to process this superblock. It then realises
that the block size value stored in the superblock (4096) does not match what
it was told (1024), so it bails out with EXT2_ET_UNEXPECTED_BLOCK_SIZE. fsck
aborts without fixing the partition.
The following patch solves the problem by discounting superblocks which do
not meet the currently-sought block size.
As a result, block 32768 (blocksize=4096) is now used to restore the backup,
which agrees with the first location that mke2fs listed.
