Currently, creating large xattr (e.g. 2k) in ea_inode would cause ea_inode refcount corruption, e.g. Pass 4: Checking reference counts Extended attribute inode 13 ref count is 0, should be 1. Fix? no This is because that we save the lower 32bit of refcount in inode->i_version and store it in raw_inode->i_disk_version on disk. But since commitee73f9a52a("ext4: convert to new i_version API"), we load/store modified i_disk_version from/to disk instead of raw value, which causes on-disk ea_inode refcount corruption. Fix it by loading/storing raw i_version/i_disk_version, because it's a self-managed value in this case.

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.
