Andreas, Emoly, I'd appreciate your thoughts; what do you think about Tahsin's patch. Could you give it a try on a file system created with Lustre and let me know how it works for you? Many thanks!! - Ted On Mon, Jul 24, 2017 at 01:13:08PM -0700, Tahsin E

[PATCH] ext4: backward compatibility support for Lustre ea_inode implementation

2017-07-24 Thread Tahsin Erdogan
Original Lustre ea_inode feature did not have ref counts on xattr inodes because there was always one parent that referenced it. New implementation expects ref count to be initialized which is not true for Lustre case. Handle this by detecting Lustre created xattr inode and set its ref count to 1.
