    fs/9p/xattr.c: catch the error of p9_client_clunk when setting xattr failed · 3111784b
    piaojun authored
    In my testing, v9fs_fid_xattr_set will return successfully even if the
    backend ext4 filesystem has no space to store xattr key-value. That will
    cause inconsistent behavior between front end and back end. The reason is
    that lsetxattr will be triggered by p9_client_clunk, and unfortunately we
    did not catch the error. This patch will catch the error to notify upper
    caller.
    
    p9_client_clunk (in 9p)
      p9_client_rpc(clnt, P9_TCLUNK, "d", fid->fid);
        v9fs_clunk (in qemu)
          put_fid
            free_fid
              v9fs_xattr_fid_clunk
                v9fs_co_lsetxattr
                  s->ops->lsetxattr
                    ext4_xattr_user_set (in host ext4 filesystem)
