Message-ID: <1483976343-661-28-git-send-email-hch@xxxxxx>
From: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 2e1d23370e75d7d89350d41b4ab58c7f6a0e26b2 upstream.
When we create a new attribute, we first create a shortform
attribute, and try to fit the new attribute into it.
If that fails, we copy the (empty) attribute into a leaf attribute,
and do the copy again. Thus there can be a transient state where
we have an empty leaf attribute.
If we encounter this during log replay, the verifier will fail.
So add a test to ignore this part of the leaf attr verification
during log replay.
Thanks as usual to dchinner for spotting the problem.
