Ryusuke Konishi 003ff182fd nilfs2: allow future expansion of metadata read out via get info ioctl
Nilfs has some ioctl commands to read out metadata from meta data
files:

 - NILFS_IOCTL_GET_CPINFO for checkpoint file,
 - NILFS_IOCTL_GET_SUINFO for segment usage file, and
 - NILFS_IOCTL_GET_VINFO for Disk Address Transalation (DAT) file,
   respectively.

Every routine on these metadata files is implemented so that it allows
future expansion of on-disk format.  But, the above ioctl commands do
not support expansion even though nilfs_argv structure can handle
arbitrary size for data exchanged via ioctl.

This allows future expansion of the following structures which give
basic format of the "get information" ioctls:

 - struct nilfs_cpinfo
 - struct nilfs_suinfo
 - struct nilfs_vinfo

So, this introduces forward compatility of such ioctl commands.

In this patch, a sanity check in nilfs_ioctl_get_info() function is
changed to accept larger data structure [1], and metadata read
routines are rewritten so that they become compatible for larger
structures; the routines will just ignore the remaining fields which
the current version of nilfs doesn't know.

[1] The ioctl function already has another upper limit (PAGE_SIZE
    against a structure, which appears in nilfs_ioctl_wrap_copy
    function), and this will not cause security problem.
