RFC PATCH 6/7 ext4: Add EXT4_IOC_PRINT_GLOBAL_ARULE for debug block allocation restriction

ext4: Add EXT4_IOC_PRINT_GLOBAL_ARULE for debug block allocation restriction

From: Akira Fujita <[email protected]>

This is a debug ioctl for block allocation restriction

EXT4_IOC_PRINT_GLOBAL_ARULE prints the information of block allocation restriction to syslog.

  #define EXT4_IOC_PRINT_GLOBAL_ARULE     _IO('f', 19)

This information consists of following three entries.
- start physical offset
- end physical offset
- flag (0: mandatory, 1:advisory)

e.g. ARULE: start=10000 end=13999 flag=1

The above means ext4 FS where target fd located in is set block allocation restriction from 10000 to 13999 with advisory. Block allocator use blocks from 10000 to 13999 with precedence, if it can not use them, then block allocator tries to use blocks from other range.
