commit 2bc7e7c1a3bc9bd0cbf0f71006f6fe7ef24a00c2 upstream. An ea_inode stores the value of an extended attribute; it can not have extended attributes itself, or this will cause recursive nightmares. Add a check in ext4_iget() to make sure this is the case.

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.
