Hi Marc,

Thanks for your response! it was held captive by the spam filter for a while (my fault) so I didn't notice it.
I know about customers and changing priorities ;)

I havn't received any patches from you yet (also a mail program issue?).
I have only adopted 1/5 "xattr: protect ui_size and data_len by ui_mutex" and 2/5 "fix couple bugs in
UBIFS extended attribute len" (appended below).
Those two seem to work well (testing still in progress) and should not be affected by the locking issue?

Maybe, I'll push the patches to our git server:

http://git.pengutronix.de/?p=mkl/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/v3.10/topic/ubifs-xattr

Can you please (re)check if these patches are still the ones on my
server? Can I have your Tested-by? Do they fix your problems? If so, we
should try to get them mainline.

And yes, the first two patches are unrelated to locking problem. The
locking problems are "introduced" by "UBIFS: Add security.* XATTR
support for the UBIFS" I think.

Yes, my patch is equivalent to your committs
1a5ef9e82c7c76a90de94190df6d0ad9cfad2452
and

I'm still testing but so far it looks promising.

Sounds like a great idea!

Hi Marc,

I have now run your patches both on the bench using the integck test program and
in live systems for an extended period of time. The xattr node related errors I saw
before has not appeared any more.
All tests run on a MPC5125 based system using NOR FLASH.

Tested-by: Mats Karrman <mats.karrman@tritech.se>
