Currently, HFS declares on-disk layout's metadata structures in fs/hfs/hfs.h and HFS+ declares it in fs/hfsplus/hfsplus_raw.h. However, HFS and HFS+ on-disk layouts have some similarity and overlapping in declarations. As a result, fs/hfs/hfs.h and fs/hfsplus/hfsplus_raw.h contain multiple duplicated declarations. Moreover, both HFS and HFS+ drivers contain completely similar implemented functionality in multiple places. This patch is moving the on-disk layout declarations from fs/hfs/hfs.h and fs/hfsplus/hfsplus_raw.h into include/linux/hfs_common.h with the goal to exclude the duplication in declarations. Also, this patch prepares the basis for creating a hfslib that can aggregate common functionality without necessity to duplicate the same code in HFS and HFS+ drivers.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
