This requires the creation of new opcodes specific to parent pointers, and a new four-argument replace operation to handle renames. At this point this part of the patchset has changed so much from what Allison original wrote that I no longer think her SoB applies. Signed-off-by: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@xxxxxxxxxx> and about time, I was getting real irritated at having to iterate back and forth across those. ;) > > + return false; > > + if (attrp->alfi_old_name_len == 0 || > > + attrp->alfi_old_name_len > XATTR_NAME_MAX) > > + return false; > > + if (attrp->alfi_new_name_len == 0 || > > + attrp->alfi_new_name_len > XATTR_NAME_MAX) > > + return false; > > Given that we have four copies of this (arguably simple) check, > should we grow a helper for it? static inline bool xfs_attri_validate_namelen(unsigned int namelen) { return namelen > 0 && namelen <= XATTR_NAME_MAX; } Done. > > + if (attrp->alfi_value_len == 0 || > > + attrp->alfi_value_len > XATTR_SIZE_MAX) > > + return false; > > All parent pointer attrs must be sized for exactly the parent_rec, > so we should probably check for that explicitly?

Ok, I'll add that as a prep patch. --D
