4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: piaojun <piaojun@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 3111784bee81591ea2815011688d28b65df03627 upstream.
In my testing, v9fs_fid_xattr_set will return successfully even if the
backend ext4 filesystem has no space to store xattr key-value. That will
cause inconsistent behavior between front end and back end. The reason is
that lsetxattr will be triggered by p9_client_clunk, and unfortunately we
did not catch the error. This patch will catch the error to notify upper
caller.
p9_client_clunk (in 9p)
p9_client_rpc(clnt, P9_TCLUNK, "d", fid->fid);
v9fs_clunk (in qemu)
put_fid
free_fid
v9fs_xattr_fid_clunk
v9fs_co_lsetxattr
s->ops->lsetxattr
ext4_xattr_user_set (in host ext4 filesystem)
