Description: Recognize ext2/3/4 filesystem features
metdata_csum_seed and large_dir; ignore them as
they are not used by GRUB and can be safely
ignored, instead of treat these unrecognized
features as hard errors. Particularly, the
metadata_csum_seed feature is enabled by
e2fsprogs >= 1.47.0, so failing to recognize it
will cause grub-install failure if the /boot
partition (or /, when /boot is not a separate
partition) is created by a recent mkfs.ext4.

Subject: [PATCH] fs/ext2: Ignore checksum seed incompat feature
This incompat feature is used to denote that the filesystem stored its
metadata checksum seed in the superblock. This is used to allow tune2fs
changing the UUID on a mounted metdata_csum filesystem without having
to rewrite all the disk metadata. However, the GRUB doesn't use the
metadata checksum at all. So, it can just ignore this feature if it
is enabled. This is consistent with the GRUB filesystem code in general
which just does a best effort to access the filesystem's data.
The checksum seed incompat feature has to be removed from the ignore
list if the support for metadata checksum verification is added to the
GRUB ext2 driver later.

Subject: [PATCH] fs/ext2: Ignore the large_dir incompat feature
Recently, ext4 added the large_dir feature, which adds support for
a 3 level htree directory support.
The GRUB supports existing file systems with htree directories by
ignoring their existence, and since the index nodes for the hash tree
look like deleted directory entries (by design), the GRUB can simply do
a brute force O(n) linear search of directories. The same is true for
3 level deep htrees indicated by large_dir feature flag.
Hence, it is safe for the GRUB to ignore the large_dir incompat feature.
