The race between *set_acl and *get_acl will cause getting incomplete
xattr data as below:
processA processB
ocfs2_set_acl
ocfs2_xattr_set
__ocfs2_xattr_set_handle
ocfs2_get_acl_nolock
ocfs2_xattr_get_nolock:
processB may get incomplete xattr data if processA hasn't set_acl done.
So we should use 'ip_xattr_sem' to protect getting extended attribute in
ocfs2_get_acl_nolock(), as other processes could be changing it
concurrently.

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.
