Dimitri John Ledkov e69e015634 btrfs-progs: drop feature defines from C files, in favour of CFLAGS defines
glibc 2.10+ (5+ years old) enables all the desired features:
_XOPEN_SOURCE 700, __XOPEN2K8, POSIX_C_SOURCE, DEFAULT_SOURCE; with a
single _GNU_SOURCE define in the makefile alone. For portability to
other libc implementations (e.g. dietlibc) _XOPEN_SOURCE=700 is also
defined.

This also resolves Debian bug report filed by Michael Tautschnig -
"Inconsistent use of _XOPEN_SOURCE results in conflicting
declarations". Whilst I was not able to reproduce the results, the
reported fact is that _XOPEN_SOURCE set to 500 in one set of files
(e.g. cmds-filesystem.c) generates/defines different struct stat from
other files (cmds-replace.c).

This patch thus cleans up all feature defines, and sets them at a
consistent level.

Hugo Mills 90a379a876 btrfs-progs: Add -R to list UUIDs of original received subvolume
When using send/receive, it it useful to be able to match up source
subvols on the send side (as, say, for -p or -c clone sources) with their
corresponding copies on the receive side. This patch adds a -R option to
btrfs sub list to show the received subvolume UUID on the receive side,
allowing the user to perform that matching correctly.

David Sterba f9f9ee18a5 btrfs-progs: fix listing deleted subvolumes
The real check whether to show deleted or live subvolumes was skipped if
just '-d' was specified without other filters. The 'deleted' filter was
not accounted.

It is now handled as a normal filter, that additionally sets the only_delete
global status in order to be processed before any other filters in
filter_root().

Wang Shilong 64edc851da Btrfs-progs: filter the deleted subvolumes when listing snapshots
btrfs snapshot list command will stop by the deleted subvolumes.

The problem may happen by two ways:
1. a subvolume deletion is not commited, that is ROOT_BACKREF has been deleted,
   but ROOT_ITEM still exists. The command will fail to fill the path of
   the deleted subvolumes because we can not get the parent fs/file tree.
2. a subvolume is possibly deleted when we fill the path, For example,
   Fs tree
     |->subv0
	  |->subv1

   We may fill the path of subv1 firstly, after that, some user deletes subv1
   and subv0, and then we fill the path of subv0. The command will fail to
   fill the path of subv0 because we can not get path of subv0. And the command
   also will fail to make the full path of subv1 because we don't have the path
   of subv0.

Since these subvolumes have been deleted, we should filter them. This patch
fixed the above problem by this way.

For the 1st case, ->ref_tree of the deleted subvolumes are 0.
For the 2nd case, if we found the error number that ioctl() returns is ENOENT,
we will set ->ref_tree to 0.
And when we make the full path of the subvolumes, we will check ->ref_tree of
them and their parent. If someone's ->ref_tree or its parent's ->ref_tree is 0,
we will filter it.

Lukas Czerner 8c2b1be428 Btrfs-progs: List all subvolumes by default
Commit a1e89891eb changed subvolume list
command so that we list only subvolumes under the specified directory.
However this is confusing and unnecessary obstacle, because one usually
want to see all subvolumes in the file system. It was introduced with
the notion the full_path may be invalid which is not exactly true as the
full_path is always relative to the root subvolume which makes perfect
sense.

Simply making option '-a' default is not enough since it introduces the
relative/absolute path distinction effectively obfuscating the subvolume
nesting.

This commit returns the subvolume list command behaviour before commit
a1e89891eb where we list all subvolumes in
the filesystem with path naming from root subovolume. IMO this is the
best default as it is well understood and gives all the important
information about file system subvolumes including subvolume nesting
without the need to parse additional information.

wangshilong 60d11eca66 Btrfs-progs: introduce -g -c --sort options into btrfs subvol list command
This patch introduces '-g' '-c' '--sort' options

The option '-g' can help you filter the subvolumes by the generation, you may
use it just like:

	btrfs subvol list -g +/-value <path>

'+' means the generation of the subvolumes should >= the value you specified.
'-' means the generation should <= the value
If you don't input either '+' nor '-', this command will list the subvolumes
that their generation equals to the value.

However if you want to find gengeration between value1 and value2
you may use the above like:

        btrfs sub list -g -value1 -g +value2 <path>

The option '-c' can help you filter the subvolumes by the ogeneration, you may
use it just like:

	btrfs subvol list -c +/-value <path>

The usage is the same to '-g'

You might want to list subvolumes in order of some items, such as root id, gen
and so on, you can use '--sort'. Now you can sort the subvolumes by root id,
gen, ogen and path.

For example:
If you want to list subvolumes in order of rootid, you can use the option like
that:

	btrfs sub list --sort=+/-rooid <path>

Here, '+' means the result is sorted by ascending order. '-' is by descending
order. If you don't specify either '+' nor '-', the result is sorted by
default - ascending order.

If you want to combine sort items, you do it like that:

	btrfs sub list --sort=-rootid,+path,ogen,gen <path>

Miao Xie 162df1e30c Btrfs-progs: restructure list_subvolumes
The current code of list_subvols() has very bad scalability, if we want to
add new filter conditions or new sort methods, we have to modify lots of code.

Beside that, the most code of list_snapshots() is similar to list_subvols(),

So I restructure list_subvols(), and split the subvolume filter function,
the subvolume sort function and the output function from list_subvols().
In order to implement it, we defined some importtant structures:
struct btrfs_list_filter {
	btrfs_list_filter_func filter_func;
	void *data;
};

struct btrfs_list_comparer {
	btrfs_list_comp_func comp_func;
	int is_descending;
};

struct {
	char	*name;
	char	*column_name;
	int	need_print;
} btrfs_list_columns[];

If we want to add a new filter condition, we can choose a suitable filter
function, or implement a new filter function[1], and add it into a set of
the filters, and then pass the filter set into list_subvols(). We also can
mix several filters (just add those filters into the set, and pass the set
into list_subvols()) if the users specify two or more filter conditions.

The subvolume sort function is similar to the subvolume filter function. The
differentiation is the order of comparers in the array which is passed into
list_subvols() show us the priority of the sort methods.

The output function is different with the above two functions, we define a
array to manage all the columns that can be outputed, and use a member variant
(->need_print) to control the output of the relative column. Some columns are
outputed by default. But we can change it according to the requirement of the
users.

After appling this patch, we needn't implement a independent list_snapshots()
function, just pass a filter function which is used to identify the snapshot
into list_subvols().

[1]: If we implement new filter functions or compare functions, we must add
them into the array all_filter_funcs or the array all_comp_funcs, and modify
the relative enum variants(btrfs_list_filter_enum, btrfs_list_comp_enum).

Miao Xie 7cb1cf7542 Btrfs-progs: fix wrong way to check if the root item contains otime and uuid
Now we check if the root item contains otime and uuid or not by comparing
->generation_v2 and ->generation of the btrfs_root_item structure, it is
wrong because it is possbile that ->generation may equal to the first
variant of the next item. We fix this problem by check the size of btrfs_root_item,
if it is larger than the original one, the new btrfs_root_item contains otime
and uuid. we needn't worry the case that the new filesystem is mounted on the
old kernel. because the otime and uuid are not changed on the old kernel, we can
get the correct result even on the kernel.

Liu Bo f02827c1c0 Btrfs-progs: list snapshots by generation
The idea is that we usually use snapshot to backup/restore our data, and the
common way can be a cron script which makes lots of snapshots, so we can end
up with spending some time to find the latest snapshot to restore.

This adds a feature for 'btrfs subvolume list' to let it list snapshots by their
_created_ generation.

What we need to do is just to list them in descending order and get the latest
snapshot.  What's more, we can find the oldest snapshot as well by listing
snapshots in ascending order.

Liu Bo 95eeaf1c29 Btrfs-progs: show generation in command btrfs subvol list
This adds the ability to show root's modification generation when we use
btrfs subvol list.

NOTE:
Like file's atime and ctime, root's generation also has 'creation generation'
and 'modification generation'.
The generation that we're going to show is 'modification generation', and the
next patch is going to show 'creation generation'.
