From 2e1d23370e75d7d89350d41b4ab58c7f6a0e26b2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Sandeen Date: Fri, 9 Dec 2016 16:49:47 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] xfs: ignore leaf attr ichdr.count in verifier during log replay When we create a new attribute, we first create a shortform attribute, and try to fit the new attribute into it. If that fails, we copy the (empty) attribute into a leaf attribute, and do the copy again. Thus there can be a transient state where we have an empty leaf attribute. If we encounter this during log replay, the verifier will fail. So add a test to ignore this part of the leaf attr verification during log replay. Thanks as usual to dchinner for spotting the problem.
