If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 08b5d5014a27e717826999ad20e394a8811aae92 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frank van der Linden <fllinden@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 23 Jun 2020 22:39:18 +0000 Subject: xattr: break delegations in {set,remove}xattr From: Frank van der Linden <fllinden@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 08b5d5014a27e717826999ad20e394a8811aae92 upstream. set/removexattr on an exported filesystem should break NFS delegations. This is true in general, but also for the upcoming support for RFC 8726 (NFSv4 extended attribute support). Make sure that they do. Additionally, they need to grow a _locked variant, since callers might call this with i_rwsem held (like the NFS server code).
