Build rebot found this error:

config: make ARCH=sparc allyesconfig

All error/warnings:

fs/ext4/inline.c: In function 'ext4_create_inline_data':
fs/ext4/inline.c:268:19: error: 'empty_zero_page' undeclared (first use in this function)
fs/ext4/inline.c:268:19: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
fs/ext4/inline.c: At top level:
fs/ext4/inline.c:164:12: warning: 'ext4_read_inline_data' defined but not used [-Wunused-function]

In sparc, it seems that we don't have empty_zero_page, so add a new specific
value EXT4_ZERO_XATTR_VALUE so that when ext4_xattr_set_entry see this flag
memset the space directly instead of copying from value. This idea is
inspired by Theodore Ts'o.

Thanks, applied with a somewhat edited commit description:

    ext4: zero out inline data using memset() instead of empty_zero_page
    
    Not all architectures (in particular, sparc64) have empty_zero_page.
    So instead of copying from empty_zero_page, use memset to clear the
    inline data by signalling to ext4_xattr_set_entry() via a magic
    pointer value, EXT4_ZERO_ATTR_VALUE, which is defined by casting -1 to
    a pointer.
    
    This fixes a build failure on sparc64, and the memset() should be more
    efficient than using memcpy() anyway.
