ext4: xattr-in-inode support
Large xattr support is implemented for EXT4_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_EA_INODE.
If the size of an xattr value is larger than will fit in a single
external block, then the xattr value will be saved into the body
of an external xattr inode.
The also helps support a larger number of xattr, since only the headers
will be stored in the in-inode space or the single external block.
The inode is referenced from the xattr header via "e_value_inum",
which was formerly "e_value_block", but that field was never used.
The e_value_size still contains the xattr size so that listing
xattrs does not need to look up the inode if the data is not accessed.
struct ext4_xattr_entry {
__u8 e_name_len; /* length of name */
__u8 e_name_index; /* attribute name index */
__le16 e_value_offs; /* offset in disk block of value */
__le32 e_value_inum; /* inode in which value is stored */
__le32 e_value_size; /* size of attribute value */
__le32 e_hash; /* hash value of name and value */
char e_name[0]; /* attribute name */
};
The xattr inode is marked with the EXT4_EA_INODE_FL flag and also
holds a back-reference to the owning inode in its i_mtime field,
allowing the ext4/e2fsck to verify the correct inode is accessed.
[ Applied fix by Dan Carpenter to avoid freeing an ERR_PTR. ]
