Since commitd0a5b995a3(vfs: Add IOP_XATTR inode operations flag) extended attributes haven't worked on the root directory in reiserfs. This is due to reiserfs conditionally setting the sb->s_xattrs handler array depending on whether it located or create the internal privroot directory. It necessarily does this after the root inode is already read in. The IOP_XATTR flag is set during inode initialization, so it never gets set on the root directory. This commit unconditionally assigns sb->s_xattrs and clears IOP_XATTR on internal inodes. The old return values due to the conditional assignment are handled via open_xa_root, which now returns EOPNOTSUPP as the VFS would have done.

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.
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.
