Hi folks, while working on the attr structs cleanup, I've noticed there
are so many places where we do:

(struct xfs_attr_shortform *)dp->i_afp->if_u1.if_data;

So, I thought it would be worth to add another inline function to do
this conversion and remove all these casts.

To achieve this, it will be required to include xfs_inode.h header on
xfs_attr_sf.h, so it can access the xfs_inode definition. Also, if this
patch is an acceptable idea, it will make sense then to keep the
xfs_attr_sf_totsize() function also inside xfs_attr_sf.h (which has been
moved on my series to avoid the additional #include), so, I thought on
sending this RFC patch to get comments if it's a good idea or not, and,
if it is, I'll add this patch to my series before sending it over.

I didn't focus on check if this patch is totally correct (only build
test), since my idea is to gather you guys opinions about having this
new inline function, so don't bother on reviewing the patch itself by
now, only the function name if you guys prefer some other name.

Also, this patch is build on top of my clean up series (V2), not yet
sent to the list, so it won't apply anyway.

Cheers.

FWIW, I thought we tried to avoid including headers from other headers
like this. I'm also wondering if it's an issue that we'd be including a
a header that is external to libxfs from a libxfs header. Perhaps this
could be simplified by passing the xfs_ifork pointer to the new helper
rather than the xfs_inode and/or moving the helper to
libxfs/xfs_inode_fork.h and putting a forward declaration of
xfs_attr_shortform in there..?

If you change if_data to a (void *), all the casts become unnecessary,
right?

Or just turn it into a macro, which might be easiet?

I also find the name a little strange as it takes the inode

maybe xfs_inode_to_attr_sf ?

Yes, that is probably an even better idea.
