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.

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.
