I have to explain more about this (sorry about my awkward English)
here i_xattr_icount is to represent the size of xattr field of erofs, as follows:
0 - no xattr at all (no erofs_xattr_ibody_header)
_______
| inode |
|_______|
1 - a erofs_xattr_ibody_header (12 byte) + 4-byte (shared + inline) xattrs
2 - a erofs_xattr_ibody_header (12 byte) + 8-byte (shared + inline) xattrs
....
(that is the magic -1 means...)
In order to keep the number continuously, actually the content could be
an array of shared_xattr_id and
an inline xattr combination (struct erofs_xattr_entry + name + value)
Thanks,
Gao Xiang
