Large xattr support is implemented for EXT4_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_EA_INODE.
If the size of an xattr value is larger than will fit in a single
external block, then the xattr value will be saved into the body
of an external xattr inode.
The also helps support a larger number of xattr, since only the headers
will be stored in the in-inode space or the single external block.
The inode is referenced from the xattr header via "e_value_inum",
which was formerly "e_value_block", but that field was never used.
The e_value_size still contains the xattr size so that listing
xattrs does not need to look up the inode if the data is not accessed.
struct ext4_xattr_entry {
__u8 e_name_len; /* length of name */
__u8 e_name_index; /* attribute name index */
__le16 e_value_offs; /* offset in disk block of value */
__le32 e_value_inum; /* inode in which value is stored */
__le32 e_value_size; /* size of attribute value */
__le32 e_hash; /* hash value of name and value */
char e_name[0]; /* attribute name */
};
The xattr inode is marked with the EXT4_EA_INODE_FL flag and also
holds a back-reference to the owning inode in its i_mtime field,
allowing the ext4/e2fsck to verify the correct inode is accessed.

It was possible for an xattr value to have a very large size, which
would then pass validation on 32-bit architectures due to a pointer
wraparound. Fix this by validating the size in a way which avoids
pointer wraparound.
It was also possible that a value's size would fit in the available
space but its padded size would not. This would cause an out-of-bounds
memory write in ext4_xattr_set_entry when replacing the xattr value.
For example, if an xattr value of unpadded size 253 bytes went until the
very end of the inode or block, then using setxattr(2) to replace this
xattr's value with 256 bytes would cause a write to the 3 bytes past the
end of the inode or buffer, and the new xattr value would be incorrectly
truncated. Fix this by requiring that the padded size fit in the
available space rather than the unpadded size.

Conditions checking whether there is enough free space in an xattr block
and when xattr is large enough to make enough space in the inode forgot
to account for the fact that inode need not be completely filled up with
xattrs. Thus we could move unnecessarily many xattrs out of inode or
even falsely claim there is not enough space to expand the inode. We
also forgot to update the amount of free space in xattr block when moving
more xattrs and thus could decide to move too big xattr resulting in
unexpected failure.
Fix these problems by properly updating free space in the inode and
xattr block as we move xattrs. To simplify the math, avoid shifting
xattrs after removing each one xattr and instead just shift xattrs only

to coincide when i_extra_isize is 0 which used to be the common case and
so nobody noticed this until recently when we added i_projid to the
inode and so i_extra_isize now needs to grow from 28 to 32 bytes.
The result of these bugs was that we sometimes unnecessarily decided to
move xattrs out of inode even if there was enough space and we often
ended up corrupting in-inode xattrs because arguments to
ext4_xattr_shift_entries() were just wrong. This could demonstrate
itself as BUG_ON in ext4_xattr_shift_entries() triggering.

To reduce amount of damage caused by single bad block, we limit number
of inodes sharing an xattr block to 1024. Thus there can be more xattr
blocks with the same contents when there are lots of files with the same
extended attributes. These xattr blocks naturally result in hash
collisions and can form long hash chains and we unnecessarily check each
such block only to find out we cannot use it because it is already
shared by too many inodes.
Add a reusable flag to cache entries which is cleared when a cache entry
has reached its maximum refcount. Cache entries which are not marked
reusable are skipped by mb_cache_entry_find_{first,next}. This
significantly speeds up mbcache when there are many same xattr blocks.
For example for xattr-bench with 5 values and each process handling
20000 files, the run for 64 processes is 25x faster with this patch.
Even for 8 processes the speedup is almost 3x. We have also verified
that for situations where there is only one xattr block of each kind,
the patch doesn't have a measurable cost.
