Darrick, Can I have your blessing on the choice of these upstream commits as stable candidates? I did not observe any xfstests regressions when testing v4.19.55 with these patches applied. Sasha, Can you run these patches though your xfstests setup? They fix nasty bugs. Make sure to update xfsprogs to very latest, because generic/530 used to blow up (OOM) my test machine... > > The first patch fixes a memory corruption that syzkaller found in the > attr listent code; 3b50086f0c0d xfs: don't overflow xattr listent buffer > see "generic: posix acl extended attribute memory > corruption test" for the relevant regression test.
