Hi all, Prior to introducing parent pointer extended attributes, let's spend some time cleaning up the attr code and strengthening the validation that it performs on attrs coming in from the disk. If you're going to start using this code, I strongly recommend pulling from my git trees, which are linked below. This has been running on the djcloud for months with no problems. Enjoy! Comments and questions are, as always, welcome. --D kernel git tree: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/djwong/xfs-linux.git/log/?h=improve-attr-validation xfsprogs git tree: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/djwong/xfsprogs-dev.git/log/?h=improve-attr-validation --- Commits in this patchset: * xfs_repair: check free space requirements before allowing upgrades * xfs_repair: enforce one namespace bit per extended attribute * xfs_repair: check for unknown flags in attr entries --- include/libxfs.h | 1 libxfs/libxfs_api_defs.h | 1 repair/attr_repair.c | 30 ++++++++++ repair/phase2.c | 134 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 166 insertions(+)
