Patch from Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de> Tony Dziedzic has found two bugs in the extended attributes code. Patches with explanations are attached. 1: Extended attribute sharing on ext2/ext3 not working The mb_cache_entry_insert function constantly returns an -EBUSY error instead of 0, which causes the xattr cache that is needed by the xattr sharing mechanism on ext2/ext3 to not share anything. This patch fixes the problem. (It is possible that after applying this fix we will hit bugs in code that wasn't used before.) 2: Oops in one of the xattr debug statements: The old_bh variable is NULL if an inode that previously had no EA's assigned would share an EA block with another inode. (This was hidden by the xattr sharing bug).
