Subject: [PATCH 02/38] xfs: fix dirty transaction cancellation in xfs_attr_set
Date: Wed, 19 Aug 2026 10:12:05 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260819001442.1451892-3-dgc@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260819001442.1451892-1-dgc@kernel.org>

xfs_attr_set() calls xfs_iext_count_extend() before xfs_attr_lookup().
If xfs_iext_count_extend() upgrades the inode to NREXT64 format it
will dirty the transaction. If the subsequent xfs_attr_lookup() finds
a result that is incompatible with the requested operation (e.g.
EEXIST for CREATE, ENOATTR for REMOVE/REPLACE), the function returns
the error and the caller cancels the transaction. Cancelling a dirty
transaction triggers a filesystem shutdown.

Fix this by moving the xfs_attr_lookup() call before
xfs_iext_count_extend() and validating the lookup result against the
requested operation before dirtying the transaction. The code is
restructured to separate validation from execution: first filter out
the error cases that should cancel cleanly, then extend the extent
count, then dispatch to the appropriate modification function based
on the operation type.

Fixes: 4f86bb4b66c9 ("xfs: Conditionally upgrade existing inodes to use large extent counters")
