ntfs: add named stream ioctls support
NTFS supports multiple named $DATA attributes, commonly known as alternate data streams. Add NTFS-specific ioctls to list, read, write, and remove named streams through an opened base file or directory. The UAPI provides separate commands for each operation. - NTFS_IOC_STREAM_READ - NTFS_IOC_STREAM_WRITE - NTFS_IOC_STREAM_REMOVE - NTFS_IOC_LIST_STREAMS Read and write requests use struct ntfs_stream to specify the stream name, byte offset, and transfer length. Writes create the stream if it does not already exist. A write failure after creation may leave the new stream visible. It is not rolled back because another caller may already have opened it. Userspace can remove it with NTFS_IOC_STREAM_REMOVE. The list command returns variable-length entries containing each named stream's data size, allocated size, and name. If the buffer is too small, the command returns -ENOSPC without copying entries. bytes_returned reports the required buffer size, and stream_count reports the number of streams. Stream names use the mounted filesystem NLS by default. Set NTFS_STREAM_FL_UTF16 to pass or receive raw UTF-16LE names. In NLS mode, names that cannot be represented by the mounted character set are omitted from the list. Use UTF-16 mode for lossless enumeration. Read and write transfers are limited to 16 MiB per request. Signed-off-by: Namjae Jeon <linkinjeon@kernel.org>
