Please quote commits in --oneline format in changelogs - it makes it
much easier to find the change you are refering to if there is both
a commit ID and the text string in the commit message. (i.e. text
string confirms the commit id is the one you meant to quote).
commit 2a6fba6 ("xfs: only return -errno or success from attr
->put_listent") is the one you are refering to here, right?

You have a test case? Can you turn it into an xfstest? We really
need regression tests that cover issues like this....

Looks sane, though I don't know how to test it yet....
