The function `smack_inode_post_setxattr` is called each time that a setxattr is done, for any value of name. The kernel allow to put value==NULL when size==0 to set an empty attribute value. The systematic call to smk_import_entry was causing the dereference of a NULL pointer hence a KERNEL PANIC! The problem can be produced easily by issuing the command `setfattr -n user.data file` under bash prompt when SMACK is active. Moving the call to smk_import_entry as proposed by this patch is correcting the behaviour because the function smack_inode_post_setxattr is called for the SMACK's attributes only if the function smack_inode_setxattr validated the value and its size (what will not be the case when size==0). It also has a benefical effect to not fill the smack hash with garbage values coming from any extended attribute write.
