Christoph Hellwig 0c1d9e4a61 xfs: simplify validation of the unwritten extent bit
XFS only supports the unwritten extent bit in the data fork, and only if
the file system has a version 5 superblock or the unwritten extent
feature bit.

We currently have two routines that validate the invariant:
xfs_check_nostate_extents which return -EFSCORRUPTED when it's not met,
and xfs_validate_extent that triggers and assert in debug build.

Both of them iterate over all extents of an inode fork when called,
which isn't very efficient.

This patch instead adds a new helper that verifies the invariant one
extent at a time, and calls it from the places where we iterate over
all extents to converted them from or two the in-memory format.  The
callers then return -EFSCORRUPTED when reading invalid extents from
disk, or trigger an assert when writing them to disk.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
