It looks like these patches are against an old kernel. In the new kernel
"dir_ui" was renamed to "host_ui", to show that this is not just a
directory inode, but a directory or an xattr inode (we call the "host"
inodes, since the "host" the xattr value).

I've pushed this patch in a modified form.

Do you have a possibility to test this series with a newer kernel?

Here is the patch I pushed:

Subject: [PATCH] UBIFS: fix a couple bugs in UBIFS xattr length calculation

The journal update function did not work for extended attributes properly,
because extended attribute inodes carry the xattr data, and the size of this
data was not taken into account.

Artem: improved commit message, amended the patch a bit.
