Subject: xfs: xfs_attr_inactive leaves inconsistent attr fork state behind

commit 6dfe5a049f2d48582050339d2a6b6fda36dfd14c upstream.

xfs_attr_inactive() is supposed to clean up the attribute fork when
the inode is being freed. While it removes attribute fork extents,
it completely ignores attributes in local format, which means that
there can still be active attributes on the inode after
xfs_attr_inactive() has run.

This leads to problems with concurrent inode writeback - the in-core
inode attribute fork is removed without locking on the assumption
that nothing will be attempting to access the attribute fork after a
call to xfs_attr_inactive() because it isn't supposed to exist on
disk any more.

To fix this, make xfs_attr_inactive() completely remove all traces
of the attribute fork from the inode, regardless of it's state.
Further, also remove the in-core attribute fork structure safely so
that there is nothing further that needs to be done by callers to
clean up the attribute fork. This means we can remove the in-core
and on-disk attribute forks atomically.

Also, on error simply remove the in-memory attribute fork. There's
nothing that can be done with it once we have failed to remove the
on-disk attribute fork, so we may as well just blow it away here
anyway.

Wherever this one is included, we should include the following at the
same time:

	 xfs: don't truncate attribute extents if no extents exist

... as it fixes a regression introduced by this patch that we've already
seen reports of.

Thanks very much Brian.  I'll queue that up for this 3.19-stable cycle
also:
