None of this got properly answers, and this broken interface now landed in linux-next. IT is offloading a user.* xattr which is free-form user data with semantics that are weird to say it very nicely. All this was done against the advice in the mailing list discussion. I think at some point we just need to stop taking f2fs updates likes this. _______________________________________________ Linux-f2fs-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-f2fs-devel
