Ok I just checked. On ext4 the total size of *all* xattrs can't be larger than 4k and some. There is only 1 block you can allocate beyond the file inode. So careful on the amount of data you store in ext4 attrs. If you think you'll have fatty Windows ACLs to store I guess XFS is a better choice right now.
