4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Darrick J. Wong <darrick.wong@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 7b38460dc8e4eafba06c78f8e37099d3b34d473c upstream. Kanda Motohiro reported that expanding a tiny xattr into a large xattr fails on XFS because we remove the tiny xattr from a shortform fork and then try to re-add it after converting the fork to extents format having not removed the ATTR_REPLACE flag. This fails because the attr is no longer present, causing a fs shutdown. This is derived from the patch in his bug report, but we really shouldn't ignore a nonzero retval from the remove call.
