ocfs2: Add xattr bucket iteration for large numbers of EAs
Ocfs2 breaks up xattr index tree leaves into 4k regions, called buckets. Attributes are stored within a given bucket, depending on hash value. After a discussion with Mark, we decided that the per-bucket index (xe_entry[]) would only exist in the 1st block of a bucket. Likewise, name/value pairs will not straddle more than one block. This allows the majority of operations to work directly on the buffer heads in a leaf block. This patch adds code to iterate the buckets in an EA. A new abstration of ocfs2_xattr_bucket is added. It records the bhs in this bucket and ocfs2_xattr_header. This keeps the code neat, improving readibility. Signed-off-by: Tao Ma <tao.ma@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mfasheh@suse.com>
