How about these last couple of sentences?
/*
* The "LARP" (Logged extended Attribute Recovery Persistence) debugging knob
* sets the XFS_DA_OP_LOGGED flag on all xfs_attr_set operations performed on
* V5 filesystems. As a result, the intermediate progress of all setxattr and
* removexattr operations are tracked via the log and can be restarted during
* recovery. This is useful for testing xattr recovery prior to merging of the
* parent pointer feature which requires it to maintain consistency, and may be
* enabled for userspace xattrs in the future.
