Currently, we depends on Linux XATTR value for on disk
definition. Which causes trouble on other platforms and
maybe also if this value was to change.
Fix it by creating a custom definition independent from
those in Linux (although with the same values), so it is OK
with the be16 fields used for holding these attributes.
This patch reflects a change in xfsprogs.

This adds a new superblock field, sb_meta_uuid. If set, along with
a new incompat flag, the code will use that field on a V5 filesystem
to compare to metadata UUIDs, which allows us to change the user-
visible UUID at will. Userspace handles the setting and clearing
of the incompat flag as appropriate, as the UUID gets changed; i.e.
setting the user-visible UUID back to the original UUID (as stored in
the new field) will remove the incompatible feature flag.
If the incompat flag is not set, this copies the user-visible UUID into
into the meta_uuid slot in memory when the superblock is read from disk;
the meta_uuid field is not written back to disk in this case.
The remainder of this patch simply switches verifiers, initializers,
etc to use the new sb_meta_uuid field.

xfs_bunmapi() doesn't care what type of extent is being freed and
does not look at the XFS_BMAPI_METADATA flag at all. As such we can
remove the XFS_BMAPI_METADATA from all callers that use it.

We don't log remote attribute contents, and instead write them
synchronously before we commit the block allocation and attribute
tree update transaction. As a result we are writing to the allocated
space before the allcoation has been made permanent.
As a result, we cannot consider this allocation to be a metadata
allocation. Metadata allocation can take blocks from the free list
and so reuse them before the transaction that freed the block is
committed to disk. This behaviour is perfectly fine for journalled
metadata changes as log recovery will ensure the free operation is
replayed before the overwrite, but for remote attribute writes this
is not the case.
Hence we have to consider the remote attribute blocks to contain
data and allocate accordingly. We do this by dropping the
XFS_BMAPI_METADATA flag from the block allocation. This means the
allocation will not use blocks that are on the busy list without
first ensuring that the freeing transaction has been committed to
disk and the blocks removed from the busy list. This ensures we will
never overwrite a freed block without first ensuring that it is
really free.

In recent testing, a system that crashed failed log recovery on
restart with a bad symlink buffer magic number:
XFS (vda): Starting recovery (logdev: internal)
XFS (vda): Bad symlink block magic!
XFS: Assertion failed: 0, file: fs/xfs/xfs_log_recover.c, line: 2060
On examination of the log via xfs_logprint, none of the symlink
buffers in the log had a bad magic number, nor were any other types
of buffer log format headers mis-identified as symlink buffers.
Tracing was used to find the buffer the kernel was tripping over,
and xfs_db identified it's contents as:
000: 5841524d 00000000 00000346 64d82b48 8983e692 d71e4680 a5f49e2c b317576e

This is a remote attribute buffer, which are notable in that they
are not logged but are instead written synchronously by the remote
attribute code so that they exist on disk before the attribute
transactions are committed to the journal.
The above remote attribute block has an invalid LSN in it - cycle
0xd002000, block 0 - which means when log recovery comes along to
determine if the transaction that writes to the underlying block
should be replayed, it sees a block that has a future LSN and so
does not replay the buffer data in the transaction. Instead, it
validates the buffer magic number and attaches the buffer verifier
to it. It is this buffer magic number check that is failing in the
above assert, indicating that we skipped replay due to the LSN of
the underlying buffer.
The problem here is that the remote attribute buffers cannot have a
valid LSN placed into them, because the transaction that contains
the attribute tree pointer changes and the block allocation that the
attribute data is being written to hasn't yet been committed. Hence
the LSN field in the attribute block is completely unwritten,
thereby leaving the underlying contents of the block in the LSN
field. It could have any value, and hence a future overwrite of the
block by log recovery may or may not work correctly.
Fix this by always writing an invalid LSN to the remote attribute
block, as any buffer in log recovery that needs to write over the
remote attribute should occur. We are protected from having old data
written over the attribute by the fact that freeing the block before
the remote attribute is written will result in the buffer being
marked stale in the log and so all changes prior to the buffer stale
transaction will be cancelled by log recovery.
Hence it is safe to ignore the LSN in the case or synchronously
written, unlogged metadata such as remote attribute blocks, and to
ensure we do that correctly, we need to write an invalid LSN to all
remote attribute blocks to trigger immediate recovery of metadata
that is written over the top.
As a further protection for filesystems that may already have remote
attribute blocks with bad LSNs on disk, change the log recovery code
to always trigger immediate recovery of metadata over remote
attribute blocks.

Convert all the errors the core XFs code to negative error signs
like the rest of the kernel and remove all the sign conversion we
do in the interface layers.
Errors for conversion (and comparison) found via searches like:
$ git grep " E" fs/xfs
$ git grep "return E" fs/xfs
$ git grep " E[A-Z].*;$" fs/xfs
Negation points found via searches like:
