Found this bug testing extended attributes.

attr  -Rs 1234567890ae a<   /dev/null
attr  -Rs 1234567890af a<   /dev/null


oops. the following steps are also needed - I took them out because I
thought they were unecessary:

# remove the attributes:
attr  -Rr 1234567890ad a
attr  -Rr 1234567890ae a
attr  -Rr 1234567890af a

now we will assert

I cannot reproduce this on a current TOT kernel with or without
CRCs:

# mkfs.xfs -f /dev/vdb

# attr  -Rs 1234567890ad a<   /dev/null
Attribute "1234567890ad" set to a 0 byte value for a:

# attr  -Rs 1234567890ae a<   /dev/null
Attribute "1234567890ae" set to a 0 byte value for a:

# attr  -Rs 1234567890af a<   /dev/null
Attribute "1234567890af" set to a 0 byte value for a:

No assert. Can you write an xfstest that reproduces the problem and
post the patch?

Cheers,

Dave.

Yes, these instructions are for a *256* byte inode with top of tree code.

A 512 byte inode will need a bigger link. The link must nearly fill the literal area. Patch has been supplied:
