"F2FS (Flash-Friendly File System) is flash-friendly file system which was merged
into Linux kernel v3.8 in 2013.
The motive for F2FS was to build a file system that from the start, takes into
account the characteristics of NAND flash memory-based storage devices (such as
solid-state disks, eMMC, and SD cards).
F2FS was designed on a basis of a log-structured file system approach, which
remedies some known issues of the older log structured file systems, such as
the snowball effect of wandering trees and high cleaning overhead. In addition,
since a NAND-based storage device shows different characteristics according to
its internal geometry or flash memory management scheme (such as the Flash
Translation Layer or FTL), it supports various parameters not only for
configuring on-disk layout, but also for selecting allocation and cleaning
algorithm.", quote by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F2FS.

When building with GCC 8, there are several errors regarding packed-not-aligned.
./include/grub/gpt_partition.h:79:1: error: alignment 1 of ‘struct grub_gpt_partentry’ is less than 8 [-Werror=packed-not-aligned]
This patch fixes the build error by cleaning up the ambiguity of placing
aligned structure in a packed one. In "struct grub_btrfs_time" and "struct
grub_gpt_part_type", the aligned attribute seems to be superfluous, and also
has to be packed, to ensure the structure is bit-to-bit mapped to the format
laid on disk. I think we could blame to copy and paste error here for the
mistake. In "struct efi_variable", we have to use grub_efi_packed_guid_t, as
the name suggests. :)

Use same algorithm as in libblkid from util-linux v2.30.
1. Take first 16 bytes from UTF-8 encoded string of VolumeSetIdentifier
2. If all bytes are hexadecimal digits, convert to lowercase and use as UUID
3. If first 8 bytes are not all hexadecimal digits, convert those 8 bytes
to their hexadecimal representation, resulting in 16 bytes for UUID
4. Otherwise, compose UUID from two parts:
1. part: converted first 8 bytes (which are hexadecimal digits) to lowercase
2. part: encoded following 4 bytes to their hexadecimal representation (16 bytes)
So UUID would always have 16 hexadecimal digits in lowercase variant.
According to UDF specification, first 16 Unicode characters of
VolumeSetIdentifier should be unique value and first 8 should be
hexadecimal characters.
In most cases all 16 characters are hexadecimal, but e.g. MS Windows
format.exe set only first 8 as hexadecimal and remaining as fixed
(non-unique) which violates specification.
UDF dstring has stored length in the last byte of buffer. Therefore last
byte is not part of recorded characters. And empty string in dstring is
encoded as empty buffer, including first byte (compression id).
On such a filesystem, inodes may have EXT4_ENCRYPT_FLAG set.
For a regular file, this means its contents are encrypted; for a
directory, this means the filenames in its directory entries are
encrypted; and for a symlink, this means its target is encrypted. Since
GRUB cannot decrypt encrypted contents or filenames, just issue an error
if it would need to do so. This is sufficient to allow unencrypted boot
files to co-exist with encrypted files elsewhere on the filesystem.
(Note that encrypted regular files and symlinks will not normally be
encountered outside an encrypted directory; however, it's possible via
hard links, so they still need to be handled.)
Tested by booting from an ext4 /boot partition on which I had run
'tune2fs -O encrypt'. I also verified that the expected error messages
are printed when trying to access encrypted directories, files, and
symlinks from the GRUB command line. Also ran 'sudo ./grub-fs-tester
ext4_encrypt'; note that this requires e2fsprogs v1.43+ and Linux v4.1+.

1. Do not assume block list and fragment are mutually exclusive. Squash
can pack file tail as fragment (unless -no-fragments is specified); so
check read offset and read either from block list or from fragments as
appropriate.
2. Support sparse files with zero blocks.
3. Fix fragment read - frag.offset is absolute fragment position,
not offset relative to ino.chunk.

XFS V5 stores UUID in metadata and compares them with superblock UUID.
To allow changing of user-visible UUID it stores original value in new
superblock field (meta_uuid) and sets incompatible flag to indicate that
new field must be used to verify metadata. Our driver currently does not
check metadata UUID so simply accept such filesystem.

Historically this variable hold previous value of filename that
had to be freed if allocated previously. Currently this branch
is entered only if filename was not allocated previously so it
became redundant. It did not cause real problems because grub_free
was not called, but code is confusing and causes compilation error
in some cases.
grub_xfs_iterate_dir did not restore first character after inline
name when match was found. Dependning on XFS format this character
could be inode number and we could return to the same node later in
find_file if processing cycled symlinks.

Recent tests have discovered that many of our filesystems have flawed
handling of "." and "..". Rather than attempting to fix it in filesystems
themselves, make the common code fshelp aware of "." and ".." and handle
them in this layer. Add grub_fshelp_find_file_lookup for easy conversion
of BFS, HFS and exFAT which have the same problem and don't use fshelp.
Emulate dot and dotdot in root directory. For other directories do not
add separator between name and extension for these two special entries.
Closes: 45335
Add support for new XFS on disk format. We have to handle optional
filetype fields in directory entries, additional CRC, LSN, UUID entries
in some structures, etc.

large blocks basically use extensible dataset feature, or to be exact,
setting recordsize above 128k will trigger large_block feature to be
enabled and storing such blocks is using feature extensible dataset. so
the extensible dataset is prerequisite.
Changes implement read support extensible dataset… instead of fixed DMU
types they dont specify type, making it possible to use fat zap objects
from bonus area.
Currently XFS driver converted inode numbers to native endianity only
when using them to compute inode position. Although this works, it is
somewhat confusing. So convert inode numbers when reading them from disk
structures as every other field.

Directory iteration used wrong position (sizeof wrong structure) for
termination of iteration inside a directory block. Luckily the position
ended up being wrong by just 1 byte and directory entries are larger so
things worked out fine in practice. But fix the problem anyway.

grub_memset should zero out padding after data end. It is not clear
why it is needed at all - ZFS block is at least 512 bytes and power
of two, so it is always multiple of 16 bytes. This grub_memset
apparently never did anything.
In the past birth was always zero for holes. This feature started
to make use of birth for holes as well, so change code to test for
valid DVA address instead.
