[XFS] XFS: ASCII case-insensitive support
Implement ASCII case-insensitive support. It's primary purpose is for supporting existing filesystems that already use this case-insensitive mode migrated from IRIX. But, if you only need ASCII-only case-insensitive support (ie. English only) and will never use another language, then this mode is perfectly adequate. ASCII-CI is implemented by generating hashes based on lower-case letters and doing lower-case compares. It implements a new xfs_nameops vector for doing the hashes and comparisons for all filename operations. To create a filesystem with this CI mode, use: # mkfs.xfs -n version=ci <device> SGI-PV: 981516 SGI-Modid: xfs-linux-melb:xfs-kern:31209a Signed-off-by: Barry Naujok <bnaujok@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org>
