Subject: [PATCH] xfs: don't fail when converting shortform attr to long form during ATTR_REPLACE
Date: Tue, 17 Apr 2018 17:31:30 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180418003130.GI24738@magnolia> (raw)

From: Darrick J. Wong <darrick.wong@oracle.com>

Kanda Motohiro reported that expanding a tiny xattr into a large xattr
fails on XFS because we remove the tiny xattr from a shortform fork and
then try to re-add it after converting the fork to extents format having
not removed the ATTR_REPLACE flag.  This fails because the attr is no
longer present, causing a fs shutdown.

This is derived from the patch in his bug report, but we really
shouldn't ignore a nonzero retval from the remove call.  Something's
broken and we should bail out and shut down.
