xattr: extract simple_xattr code from tmpfs
Extract in-memory xattr APIs from tmpfs. Will be used by cgroup. $ size vmlinux.o text data bss dec hex filename 4658782 880729 5195032 10734543 a3cbcf vmlinux.o $ size vmlinux.o text data bss dec hex filename 4658957 880729 5195032 10734718 a3cc7e vmlinux.o v7: - checkpatch warnings fixed - Implement the changes requested by Hugh Dickins: - make simple_xattrs_init and simple_xattrs_free inline - get rid of locking and list reinitialization in simple_xattrs_free, they're not needed v6: - no changes v5: - no changes v4: - move simple_xattrs_free() to fs/xattr.c v3: - in kmem_xattrs_free(), reinitialize the list - use simple_xattr_* prefix - introduce simple_xattr_add() to prevent direct list usage Original-patch-by: Li Zefan <lizefan@huawei.com> Cc: Li Zefan <lizefan@huawei.com> Cc: Hillf Danton <dhillf@gmail.com> Cc: Lennart Poettering <lpoetter@redhat.com> Acked-by: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Signed-off-by: Li Zefan <lizefan@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Aristeu Rozanski <aris@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
