Yes, I think your comment is precious. But I feel a necessity to analyze
hfsplus driver code more deeply for proper fix of this issue. An
userspace-mappable page content is the main use-case for such fix. But
it exists the multi CPUs use-case. So, I need to think about correctness
of hfsplus driver for such use-case also, I think.

So, as you can see the discussion revives again. :-) And I need to
familiarize with implementation of xattrs in JFS before to answer again.
I had objection that we need to remember about using HFS+ volumes as
under Linux as under Mac OS X. Maybe, JFS implementation of xattrs to
change my vision.

With the best regards,
Vyacheslav Dubeyko.
