commit 9a8fca62aacc1599fea8e813d01e1955513e4fad upstream. 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.
