Christoph noticed that the xfs_attr_is_leaf in xfs_attr_get_ilocked can access the incore extent tree of the attr fork, but nothing in the xfs_attr_get path guarantees that the incore tree is actually loaded. Most of the time it is, but seeing as xfs_attr_is_leaf ignores the return value of xfs_iext_get_extent I guess we've been making choices based on random stack contents and nobody's complained?

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 reStructuredText 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.
