Yes, it should test for xattr too,
Frankly, I suspect that the sanest way to handle that is this:
* new superblock flag - MS_NOSEC
* S_NOSEC is never set unless we have MS_NOSEC
* mount_bdev() sets it before calling fill_super callback.
* ocfs2 and fuse *clear* it in their fill_super
* btrfs manually sets it in its ->mount()
... and if gfs2 or any other non-trivial fs wants to use that, it'll need
to set MS_NOSEC in its ->mount() and take care of clearing S_NOSEC whenever
we decide it might've gone stale (a-la your patch).
several fs now uses MS_NOSEC (because this flag is set in mount_bdev())
but I don't see any user of the function inode_has_no_xattr() in the
latest version. If I well understand, a fs that wants to manage this
feature has to set MS_NOSEC and calls when needed this function, isn't
it? So at this point, why there aren't any user of this function?
