[Impact]
Multi-extent directories are not parsed correctly by grub's XFS code in 2.12~rc1, preventing it from loading files from directories with too many entries, such as the grub module directory.
This should only affect BIOS systems as they need to load the core grub modules from the module directory, whereas UEFI systems have them embedded in the ESP EFI image.
[Test plan]
There are three scenarios we should test:
(1) BIOS system with XFS /boot
(2) UEFI arm64 with grub and XFS /boot
(3) A "normal" system that should not hit this bug
Test upgrades from Lunar to Mantic for the above scenarios. On systems that match (1) or (2), the upgrade should be prevented early on with a message linking to this bug report. For (3), the upgrade should proceed as normal.
[Where problems could occur]
The two risks here are (1) missing a case where we should block upgrade, and (2) preventing an upgrade in a case where we should not. The unit tests included in the patch attempt to mitigate this risk.
Any issues would probably come from logic errors in the code that parses /proc/mounts, or in the arm64 case, the logic for checking if grub is installed. |

[Test plan: grub2, grub2-unsigned]
We'll do both grub2 on BIOS and UEFI.
- Install system with separate /boot on ext4.
- Upgrade to new grub. Run grub-install to actually apply bios-upgrade
- Reboot (this ensures ext4 still works)
- Take a backup of /boot
- Format /boot as xfs and restore backup
- Reboot (this ensures xfs works)
