If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Jeff Mahoney commit 54930dfeb46e978b447af0fb8ab4e181c1bf9d7a upstream. Most extended attributes will fit in a single block. More importantly, we drop the reference to the inode while holding the transaction open so the preallocated blocks aren't released. As a result, the inode may be evicted before it's removed from the transaction's prealloc list which can cause memory corruption.
