Pull xfs extended attribute fixes for CRCs from Ben Myers:
"Here are several fixes that are relevant on CRC enabled XFS
filesystems. They are followed by a rework of the remote attribute
code so that each block of the attribute contains a header with a CRC.
Previously there was a CRC header per extent in the remote attribute
code, but this was untenable because it was not possible to know how
many extents would be allocated for the attribute until after the
allocation has completed, due to the fragmentation of free space.
This became complicated because the size of the headers needs to be
added to the length of the payload to get the overall length required
for the allocation. With a header per block, things are less
complicated at the cost of a little space.
I would have preferred to defer this and the rest of the CRC queue to
3.11 to mitigate risk for existing non-crc users in 3.10. Doing so
would require setting a feature bit for the on-disk changes, and so I
have been pressured into sending this pull request by Eric Sandeen and
David Chinner from Red Hat. I'll send another pull request or two
with the rest of the CRC queue next week.
- Remove assert on count of remote attribute CRC headers
- Fix the number of blocks read in for remote attributes
- Zero remote attribute tails properly
- Fix mapping of remote attribute buffers to have correct length
- initialize temp leaf properly in xfs_attr3_leaf_unbalance, and
xfs_attr3_leaf_compact
- Rework remote atttributes to have a header per block"
