ext4: strong binding of xattr inode references
To verify that a xattr entry is not pointing to the wrong xattr inode, we currently check that the target inode has EXT4_EA_INODE_FL flag set and also the entry size matches the target inode size. For stronger validation, also incorporate crc32c hash of the value into the e_hash field. This is done regardless of whether the entry lives in the inode body or external attribute block.
