Filipe Manana 9a8fca62aa Btrfs: fix xattr loss after power failure
If a file has xattrs, we fsync it, to ensure we clear the flags
BTRFS_INODE_NEEDS_FULL_SYNC and BTRFS_INODE_COPY_EVERYTHING from its
inode, the current transaction commits and then we fsync it (without
either of those bits being set in its inode), we end up not logging
all its xattrs. This results in deleting all xattrs when replying the
log after a power failure.

Trivial reproducer

  $ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdb
  $ mount /dev/sdb /mnt

  $ touch /mnt/foobar
  $ setfattr -n user.xa -v qwerty /mnt/foobar
  $ xfs_io -c "fsync" /mnt/foobar

  $ sync

  $ xfs_io -c "pwrite -S 0xab 0 64K" /mnt/foobar
  $ xfs_io -c "fsync" /mnt/foobar
  <power failure>

  $ mount /dev/sdb /mnt
  $ getfattr --absolute-names --dump /mnt/foobar
  <empty output>
  $

So fix this by making sure all xattrs are logged if we log a file's inode
item and neither the flags BTRFS_INODE_NEEDS_FULL_SYNC nor
BTRFS_INODE_COPY_EVERYTHING were set in the inode.

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

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
