Merge tag 'make-attr-fork-permanent-5.20_2022-07-14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/djwong/xfs-linux into xfs-5.20-mergeB xfs: make attr forks permanent This series fixes a use-after-free bug that syzbot uncovered. The UAF itself is a result of a race condition between getxattr and removexattr because callers to getxattr do not necessarily take any sort of locks before calling into the filesystem. Although the race condition itself can be fixed through clever use of a memory barrier, further consideration of the use cases of extended attributes shows that most files always have at least one attribute, so we might as well make them permanent. v2: Minor tweaks suggested by Dave, and convert some more macros to helper functions.
