[Ocfs2-devel] [PATCH 1/1] allow for more than one data extent when creating xattr

[Ocfs2-devel] [PATCH 1/1] allow for more than one data extent when creating xattr

[Tariq Saeed]

Orabug: 18108070

ocfs2_xattr_extend_allocation() hits panic when creating xattr during
data extent alloc phase. The problem occurs if due to local alloc
fragmentation, clusters are spread over multiple extents.  In this case
ocfs2_add_clusters_in_btree() finds no space to store more than one extent
record and therefore fails returning RESTART_META.  The situation is
anticipated for xattr update case but not xattr create case. This fix
simply ports that code to create case.
