Date: Mon, 21 Nov 2022 14:09:29 +0100 From: Jan Kara <jack@...e.cz> To: Ted Tso <tytso@....edu> Cc: <linux-ext4@...r.kernel.org>, Jan Kara <jack@...e.cz>, Eric Sandeen <sandeen@...hat.com> Subject: [PATCH] ext4: Avoid BUG_ON when creating xattrs Commit fb0a387dcdcd ("ext4: limit block allocations for indirect-block files to < 2^32") added code to try to allocate xattr block with 32-bit block number for indirect block based files on the grounds that these files cannot use larger block numbers. It also added BUG_ON when allocated block could not fit into 32 bits. This is however bogus reasoning because xattr block is stored in inode->i_file_acl and inode->i_file_acl_hi and as such even indirect block based files can happily use full 48 bits for xattr block number. The proper handling seems to be there basically since 64-bit block number support was added. So remove the bogus limitation and BUG_ON.
