Starting with version 5 the following properties change:
- UBIFS_FLG_DOUBLE_HASH is mandatory
- UBIFS_FLG_ENCRYPTION is optional but depdens on UBIFS_FLG_DOUBLE_HASH
- Filesystems with unknown super block flags will be rejected, this
allows us in future to add new features without raising the UBIFS
write version.

This feature flag indicates that the filesystem contains encrypted
files.

This feature flag indicates that all directory entry nodes have a 32bit
cookie set and therefore UBIFS is allowed to perform lookups by hash.

UBIFS stores a 32bit hash of every file, for traditional lookups by name
this scheme is fine since UBIFS can first try to find the file by the
hash of the filename and upon collisions it can walk through all entries
with the same hash and do a string compare.
When filesnames are encrypted fscrypto will ask the filesystem for a
unique cookie, based on this cookie the filesystem has to be able to
locate the target file again. With 32bit hashes this is impossible
because the chance for collisions is very high. Do deal with that we
store a 32bit cookie directly in the UBIFS directory entry node such
that we get a 64bit cookie (32bit from filename hash and the dent
cookie). For a lookup by hash UBIFS finds the entry by the first 32bit
and then compares the dent cookie. If it does not match, it has to do a
linear search of the whole directory and compares all dent cookies until
the correct entry is found.

When data of a data node is compressed and encrypted
we need to store the size of the compressed data because
before encryption we may have to add padding bytes.
For the new field we consume the last two padding bytes
in struct ubifs_data_node. Two bytes are fine because
the data length is at most 4096.

This is the first building block to provide file level
encryption on UBIFS.

Like ext4 UBIFS will store the crypto context in a xattr
attribute.

The 'space_fixup' flag can be set in the superblock of a new filesystem by
mkfs.ubifs to indicate that any eraseblocks with free space remaining should be
fixed-up the first time it's mounted (after which the flag is un-set). This
means that the UBIFS image has been flashed by a "dumb" flasher and the free
space has been actually programmed (writing all 0xFFs), so this free space
cannot be used. UBIFS fixes the free space up by re-writing the contents of all
LEBs with free space using the atomic LEB change UBI operation.
Artem: improved commit message, add some more commentaries to the code.

There was an attempt to standartize various "__attribute__" and
other macros in order to have potentially portable and more
consistent code, see commit 82ddcb040570411fc2d421d96b3e69711c670328.
Note, that commit refers Rober Love's blog post, but the URL
is broken, the valid URL is:

Moreover, nowadays checkpatch.pl warns about using
__attribute__((packed)):
"WARNING: __packed is preferred over __attribute__((packed))"
It is not a big deal for UBIFS to use __packed, so let's do it.

The journal head names and numbers are part of the UBIFS format, so
they should be in the ubifs-media.h.

Now UBIFS is supported by u-boot. If we ever decide to change the
media format, then people will have to upgrade their u-boots to
mount new format images. However, very often it is possible to
preserve R/O forward-compatibility, even though the write
forward-compatibility is not preserved.
This patch introduces a new super-block field which stores the
R/O compatibility version.

If data does not compress, it is better to leave it uncompressed
because we'll read it faster then. So do not compress data if we
save less than 64 bytes.

UBIFS does not really work correctly when fanout is 2,
because of the way we manage the indexing tree. It may
just become a list and UBIFS screws up.

At the moment UBIFS reserves twice old index size space for the
index. But this is not enough in some cases, because if the indexing
node are very fragmented and there are many small gaps, while the
dirty index has big znodes - in-the-gaps method would fail.
Thus, reserve trise as more, in which case we are guaranteed that
we can commit in any case.
