# 317532 27-Apr-2017 pfg

Revert r314937 as anonymous unions in GCC don't seem to work.

This has been breaking the powerpc(LINT64 at least) for quite a while now.

Revert 294545:
Bringing back ext4: add support for reading sparse files

Add GCC_MS_EXTENSIONS to the CFLAGS in the module to make the old GCC in
base happy. This workaround is only required in stable/10.

MFC r294504, r294652, r294653, r294655:

ext2fs: Bring back the htree dir_index implementation.

The htree dir_index is perhaps one of the most characteristic
features of the linux ext3 implementation. It was removed
in r281670, due to repeated bug reports.

Damjan Jovanic detected and fixed three bugs and did some
stress testing by building Apache OpenOffice on top of it
so it is now in good shape to bring back.

MFC r281670, r281703:
Drop experimental ext2fs dir_index support.

The htree directory index is a highly desirable feature for research
purposes and was meant to improve performance in our ext2/3 driver.
Unfortunately our implementation has two problems:

- It never really delivered any performance improvement.
- It appears to corrupt the filesystem in undetermined circumstances.

Strictly speaking dir_index is not required for read/write support in
ext2/3 and our limited ext4 support still works fine without it.

Regain stability in the ext2 driver by removing it. We may need it back
(fixed) if we want to support encrypted ext4 support but thanks to the
wonders of version control we can always revert this change and bring it
back.
