From: Darrick J. Wong <darrick.wong@xxxxxxxxxx> Kanda Motohiro reported that expanding a tiny xattr into a large xattr fails on XFS because we remove the tiny xattr from a shortform fork and then try to re-add it after converting the fork to extents format having not removed the ATTR_REPLACE flag. This fails because the attr is no longer present, causing a fs shutdown. This is derived from the patch in his bug report, but we really shouldn't ignore a nonzero retval from the remove call. Something's broken and we should bail out and shut down. Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199119 Reported-by: kanda.motohiro@xxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Darrick J.
