Darrick J. Wong 6d200bdc01 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.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
