Not sure why you are insistent on keeping a separate structure when it 
would not be references from different structures. Keeping a prefix of 
fc will make sure it is for filecheck attributes.

Okay, I will fix that.

Yes, they are referenced by multiple files.

The idea of removing this structures was to simplify the code. More 
structures make more complicated code.

Why? Unless we are starting something specific to filecheck, I don't see

Can you give an example on how this can be activated? Maybe a check on

The main reason of the code is to remove unnecessary data structures 
which is making the code hard to understand. I don't see a point in 
keeping them in a separate structure besides adding more indirections.

Gang: I just want to make the feature code more independent in other source
files, define a separate data structure to
make the file check code more easily read for the developer, and keep the code
change more less in other source file.
Actually, the existing  struct ocfs2_filecheck can be re-used here.

Gang: that is OK, but please define the OCFS2_FILECHECK_TYPE_CHK to 0, otherwise
this replacing is not equivalent.

Gang: for example, user input a too long number string, we should return a
invalid error directly, not do the further file check operation.
We need a ocfs2_filecheck_args_parse function, add some argument checking rules
for now and future (when we find more limitations),
return the error to the user process directly, to avoid bringing the further IO
checking efforts.

Gang: I am not sure if this function works well when the string is inputed
without a terminating null character.
need to test all the case if using the function directly. But we test all the
