We currently store the high level attr operation in
args->attr_flags. This field contains what the VFS is telling us to
do, but don't necessarily match what we are doing in the low level
modification state machine. e.g. XATTR_REPLACE implies both
XFS_DA_OP_ADDNAME and XFS_DA_OP_RENAME because it is doing both a
remove and adding a new attr.
However, deep in the individual state machine operations, we check
errors against this high level VFS op flags, not the low level
XFS_DA_OP flags. Indeed, we don't even have a low level flag for
a REMOVE operation, so the only way we know we are doing a remove
is the complete absence of XATTR_REPLACE, XATTR_CREATE,
XFS_DA_OP_ADDNAME and XFS_DA_OP_RENAME. And because there are other
flags in these fields, this is a pain to check if we need to.
As the XFS_DA_OP flags are only needed once the deferred operations
are set up, set these flags appropriately when we set the initial
operation state. We also introduce a XFS_DA_OP_REMOVE flag to make
it easy to know that we are doing a remove operation.
With these, we can remove the use of XATTR_REPLACE and XATTR_CREATE
in low level lookup operations, and manipulate the low level flags
according to the low level context that is operating. e.g. log
recovery does not have a VFS xattr operation state to copy into
args->attr_flags, and the low level state machine ops we do for
recovery do not match the high level VFS operations that were in
progress when the system failed...
