Hi all,

This is V2 of fs-verity support in XFS. In this series I did
numerous changes from V1 which are described below.

This patchset introduces fs-verity [5] support for XFS. This
implementation utilizes extended attributes to store fs-verity
metadata. The Merkle tree blocks are stored in the remote extended
attributes.

A few key points:
- fs-verity metadata is stored in extended attributes
- Direct path and DAX are disabled for inodes with fs-verity
- Pages are verified in iomap's read IO path (offloaded to
  workqueue)
- New workqueue for verification processing
- New ro-compat flag
- Inodes with fs-verity have new on-disk diflag
- xfs_attr_get() can return buffer with the attribute

The patchset is tested with xfstests -g auto on xfs_1k, xfs_4k,
xfs_1k_quota, and xfs_4k_quota. Haven't found any major failures.

Patches [6/23] and [7/23] touch ext4, f2fs, btrfs, and patch [8/23]
touches erofs, gfs2, and zonefs.

The patchset consist of four parts:
- [1..4]: Patches from Parent Pointer patchset which add binary
          xattr names with a few deps
- [5..7]: Improvements to core fs-verity
- [8..9]: Add read path verification to iomap
- [10..23]: Integration of fs-verity to xfs

Changes from V1:
- Added parent pointer patches for easier testing
- Many issues and refactoring points fixed from the V1 review
- Adjusted for recent changes in fs-verity core (folios, non-4k)
- Dropped disabling of large folios
- Completely new fsverity patches (fix, callout, log_blocksize)
- Change approach to verification in iomap to the same one as in
  write path. Callouts to fs instead of direct fs-verity use.
- New XFS workqueue for post read folio verification
- xfs_attr_get() can return underlying xfs_buf
- xfs_bufs are marked with XBF_VERITY_CHECKED to track verified
  blocks
