fs/9p/xattr.c: catch the error of p9_client_clunk when setting xattr failed
In my testing, v9fs_fid_xattr_set will return successfully even if the backend ext4 filesystem has no space to store xattr key-value. That will cause inconsistent behavior between front end and back end. The reason is that lsetxattr will be triggered by p9_client_clunk, and unfortunately we did not catch the error. This patch will catch the error to notify upper caller. p9_client_clunk (in 9p) p9_client_rpc(clnt, P9_TCLUNK, "d", fid->fid); v9fs_clunk (in qemu) put_fid free_fid v9fs_xattr_fid_clunk v9fs_co_lsetxattr s->ops->lsetxattr ext4_xattr_user_set (in host ext4 filesystem) Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/5B57EACC.2060900@huawei.comSigned-off-by: Jun Piao <piaojun@huawei.com> Cc: Eric Van Hensbergen <ericvh@gmail.com> Cc: Ron Minnich <rminnich@sandia.gov> Cc: Latchesar Ionkov <lucho@ionkov.net> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Dominique Martinet <dominique.martinet@cea.fr>
