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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.

Similar to the dirops code, the xattr code uses an on-stack firstblock variable for the various operations. This code rolls the underlying transaction in various places, however, which means we cannot simply replace the local firstblock vars with ->t_firstblock. Doing so (without further changes) would invalidate the memory pointed to by xfs_da_args.firstblock as soon as the first transaction rolls. To avoid this problem, remove xfs_da_args.firstblock and replace all such accesses with ->t_firstblock at the same time. This ensures that accesses to the current firstblock always occur through the current transaction rather than a potentially invalid xfs_da_args pointer.
