The child buffer read in xfs_attr3_node_inactive() should never
reach a hole in the attr fork. If this occurs, it is likely due to a
bug. Prior to commit cd87d867 ("xfs: don't crash on unexpected holes
in dir/attr btrees"), this would result in a crash. Now that the
crash has been fixed, this is a silent failure.
Pass -1 to xfs_da3_node_read() from xfs_da3_node_inactive() to
indicate that reading from a hole is an error. This logs an error to
syslog and fails the inode inactivation, leaving the inode on the AG
unlinked list until removed by xfs_repair (or log recovery). Also
update the subsequent code to reflect that the read now returns a
non-NULL buffer or an error.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
