From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx> Source kernel commit: 378b6aef9de0f7c3d0de309ecc61c11eb29e57da Since commit deed9512872d ("xfs: Check for -ENOATTR or -EEXIST"), the high-level attr code does a lookup for any attr we're trying to set, and does the checks to handle the create vs replace cases, which thus never hit the low-level attr code. Turn the checks in xfs_attr_shortform_addname as they must never trip. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx> Reviewed-by: "Darrick J.
