 Ordering constraints:

+
+	c->xattr_sem
+	------------
+
+This read/write semaphore protects against concurrent access to the
+xattr related objects which include stuff in superblock and ic->xref.
+In read-only path, write-semaphore is too much exclusion. It's enough
+by read-semaphore. But you must hold write-semaphore when updating,
+creating or deleting any xattr related object.
+
+Once xattr_sem released, there would be no assurance for the existence
+of those objects. Thus, a series of processes is often required to retry,
+when updating such a object is necessary under holding read semaphore.
+For example, do_jffs2_getxattr() holds read-semaphore to scan xref and
+xdatum at first. But it retries this process with holding write-semaphore
+after release read-semaphore, if it's necessary to load name/value pair
+from medium.

+Ordering constraints:
+	Lock xattr_sem last, after the alloc_sem.

+ * delete_xattr_datum_node(c, xd)
+ *   is used to delete a jffs2 node is dominated by xdatum. When EBS(Erase Block Summary) is
+ *   enabled, it overwrites the obsolete node by myself.
+ * delete_xattr_datum(c, xd)
+ *   is used to delete jffs2_xattr_datum object. It must be called with 0-value of reference
+ *   counter. (It means how many jffs2_xattr_ref object refers this xdatum.)
+ * do_verify_xattr_datum(c, xd)
+ *   is used to load the xdatum informations without name/value pair from the medium.
+ *   It's necessary once, because those informations are not collected during mounting
+ *   process when EBS is enabled.
+ *   0 will be returned, if success. An negative return value means recoverable error, and

+ *   is used to load name/value pair from the medium.

+ *   If xd need to call do_verify_xattr_datum() at first, it's called before calling

+ * save_xattr_datum(c, xd, phys_ofs)
+ *   is used to write xdatum to medium. xd->version will be incremented.
