Hi,
I walked through ext2_xattr_get, and felt that we can
do some optimization on it. For name_len check, it's done
after down xattr_sem and sb_read, both of which are time
consuming operation compared with strlen:
down_read(&EXT2_I(inode)->xattr_sem);
...
bh = sb_bread(inode->i_sb, EXT2_I(inode)->i_file_acl);
...
/* find named attribute */
name_len = strlen(name);
error = -ERANGE;
if (name_len> 255)
goto cleanup;
Most of the case, you'll get one valid block, but if the
name len> 255, then the xattr_sem down and sb_bread operation
can be seen as a waste of time. So I think we'd better do
name len check as early as possible.
Following is my patch, and it's against 2.6.35-rc4.
Please check it.

Hi, I noticed in ext2_xattr_set, name_len check is done
before
down_write(&EXT2_I(inode)->xattr_sem);
So I think ext2_xattr_get should do in the same way.
Please check this patch.
