That's right. Inode represented as btrfs_inode_item does not contain any xattr fields, they're stored independently as a btrfs_dir_item of type BTRFS_FT_XATTR . Due to the way the b-tree keys are built, the xattr item key should be stored near the inode item key, that's for the tree search side. The xattr data are always stored inline in the b-tree leaf. david -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
