XFS does not check for possible overflow of per-inode extent counter fields when adding extents to either data or attr fork. For e.g. 1. Insert 5 million xattrs (each having a value size of 255 bytes) and then delete 50% of them in an alternating manner. 2. On a 4k block sized XFS filesystem instance, the above causes 98511 extents to be created in the attr fork of the inode. xfsaild/loop0 2008 [003] 1475.127209: probe:xfs_inode_to_disk: (ffffffffa43fb6b0) if_nextents=98511 i_ino=131 3. The incore inode fork extent counter is a signed 32-bit quantity. However the on-disk extent counter is an unsigned 16-bit quantity and hence cannot hold 98511 extents. 4. The following incorrect value is stored in the attr extent counter, # xfs_db -f -c 'inode 131' -c 'print core.naextents' /dev/loop0 core.naextents = -32561 This commit adds a new helper function (i.e. xfs_iext_count_may_overflow()) to check for overflow of the per-inode data and xattr extent counters. Future patches will use this function to make sure that an FS operation won't cause the extent counter to overflow. Suggested-by: Darrick J.

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.
