Add a new inode flag to require that all file data extent mappings must
be aligned (both the file offset range and the allocated space itself)
to the extent size hint.  Having a separate COW extent size hint is no
longer allowed.

The goal here is to enable sysadmins and users to mandate that all space
mappings in a file must have a startoff/blockcount that are aligned to
(say) a 2MB alignment and that the startblock/blockcount will follow the
same alignment.

Hi, John

You know I've been using and testing your atomic writes patch series recently,
and I'm particularly interested in the changes to the on-disk format. I noticed
that XFS_SB_FEAT_RO_COMPAT_FORCEALIGN uses bit 30 instead of bit 4, which would
be the next available bit in sequence.

I'm wondering if using bit 30 is just a temporary solution to avoid conflicts,
and if the plan is to eventually use bits sequentially, for example, using bit 4?
I'm looking forward to your explanation.

I really don't know. I'm looking through the history and it has been like that this the start of my source control records.

Maybe it was a copy-and-paste error from XFS_FEAT_FORCEALIGN, whose value has changed since.

Anyway, I'll ask a bit more internally, and I'll look to change to (1 << 4) if ok.

Thanks,
John
