This is version 5 of the xattr inode operation removal patch queue, rebased on
top of v4.8-rc8.  This queue merges cleanly with the current vfs for-next
branch (81b4d4f9).

The patches are available in git form at:

  https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/agruen/linux.git/log/?h=work.xattr

Changes since the previous posting:

 * Rebase on top of v4.8-rc8.

 * The overlayfs bits from this queue are now upstream.

The purpose of this series is to remove unnecessary differences between the
xattr implementations on different filesystems and to simplify things.  With
the exception of redirectors like fuse, overlayfs, and ecryptfs, all
filesystems perform some de-multiplexing based on the xattr name, so it makes
sense to make that the default; filesystems that don't do any de-multiplexing
can easily use a catch-all xattr handler.


The patch series is structured as follows:

 * The first ten patches fix a few minor things and convert the remaining
   filesystems over to use xattr handlers.

 * A new IOP_XATTR inode operations flag is introduced: the flag is set when an
   inode supports xattrs.  On most filesystems, the IOP_XATTR flag is
   automatically initialized correctly when the inode is allocated based on
   whether or not the s_xattr field in the inode's superblock is defined.
   Filesystems that support xattrs on some but not all inodes can clear the
   IOP_XATTR flag appropriately.

 * The IOP_XATTR flag is then used to get rid of the two remaining places where
   xattr inode operations other than the generic ones are used: bad inodes and
   libfs empty directories.

 * After that, we get rid of the remaining direct accesses to xattr inode
   operations.

 * Finally, we stop calling the xattr inode operations and remove them.

Note that these patches only remove the getxattr, setxattr, and removexattr
inode operations. The listxattr inode operation does not do any attribute name
de-multiplexing, and remains unchanged except for checking the new IOP_XATTR
flag as well now.


Thanks,
Andreas
