From: Bernd Schubert <bernd.schubert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ------------------- This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release. http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/paulg/longterm-queue-2.6.34.git If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment. ------------------- commit 6a08f447facb4f9e29fcc30fb68060bb5a0d21c2 upstream. ext4_special_inode_operations have their own ifdef CONFIG_EXT4_FS_XATTR to mask those methods. And ext4_iget also always sets it, so there is an inconsistency.
