Hi Tigran,

I looked at your packet dump. It seems like your server only supports 4.1,
not 4.2. xattr support builds on 4.2 (within the rules laid out in
RFC 8178).

So, the fsinfo client call, which is just a GETATTR, masks out the 4.2
fattr bits from server->attr_mask, and just uses the 4.1 bits. Meaning that
xattr_support is not included, and defaults to false.

The packet dump also indicates that your server advertises the xattr_support
fattr as supported, even though it's in a 4.1 session, which would not
be correct.
