Pull xfs extended attribute fixes for CRCs from Ben Myers: "Here are several fixes that are relevant on CRC enabled XFS filesystems. They are followed by a rework of the remote attribute code so that each block of the attribute contains a header with a CRC. Previously there was a CRC header per extent in the remote attribute code, but this was untenable because it was not possible to know how many extents would be allocated for the attribute until after the allocation has completed, due to the fragmentation of free space. This became complicated because the size of the headers needs to be added to the length of the payload to get the overall length required for the allocation. With a header per block, things are less complicated at the cost of a little space. I would have preferred to defer this and the rest of the CRC queue to 3.11 to mitigate risk for existing non-crc users in 3.10. Doing so would require setting a feature bit for the on-disk changes, and so I have been pressured into sending this pull request by Eric Sandeen and David Chinner from Red Hat. I'll send another pull request or two with the rest of the CRC queue next week. - Remove assert on count of remote attribute CRC headers - Fix the number of blocks read in for remote attributes - Zero remote attribute tails properly - Fix mapping of remote attribute buffers to have correct length - initialize temp leaf properly in xfs_attr3_leaf_unbalance, and xfs_attr3_leaf_compact - Rework remote atttributes to have a header per block" * tag 'for-linus-v3.10-rc4-crc-xattr-fixes' of git://oss.sgi.com/xfs/xfs: xfs: rework remote attr CRCs xfs: fully initialise temp leaf in xfs_attr3_leaf_compact xfs: fully initialise temp leaf in xfs_attr3_leaf_unbalance xfs: correctly map remote attr buffers during removal xfs: remote attribute tail zeroing does too much xfs: remote attribute read too short xfs: remote attribute allocation may be contiguous
