Hi Ted, These are the modifications to e2fsprogs in order to support encoding awareness and case folding. This patch series is divided in 3 parts: Patch 1 & 2 work on reserving superblock fields. Patch 1 is actually unrelated, just updating the super_block to resynchronize with the kernel. Patch 2 reserves the feature bit and superblock fields for this feature. Patch 3 through 5 implements the changes the changes to mke2fs and chattr/lsattr to enable the encoding feature at mkfs time and flipping the casefold flag on demand for specific directories. Patch 6 through 9 is where things get a bit ugly. fsck needs to become encoding aware, in order to calculate directory hashes correctly and verify/fix inconsistencies. This requires a tiny bit of plumbing to pass the encoding information up to the point where we calculate the hash, as well as implementing a simple nls-like interface in e2fsprogs to do normalization/casefolding. You'll see that in this series I've actually dropped the utf8 part because that patch is huge and I'd rather discuss it separately. I did it in a hacky way now, where we import the utf8n code from linux. I thought about using libunistring but it doesn't seem to support versioning and we risk being incompatible with the kernel hashes. I think we could follow the kernel approach and make ucd files available in e2fsprogs and generate the data at compilation. What do you think? If you want to see a full utf8 capable version of this series, please clone from: https://gitlab.collabora.com/krisman/e2fsprogs -b encoding-feature-merge If you don't object to patch 1 & 2, can we get them merged before the rest of the series is ready, so I can reserve the bits in the super block for this feature (patch 2) and avoid more rebasing on my side?
