There are a few places where the extended attribute repair code drops the ILOCK to apply stashed xattrs to the temporary file. Although setxattr and removexattr are still locked out because we retain our hold on the IOLOCK, this doesn't prevent renames from updating parent pointers, because the VFS doesn't take i_rwsem on children that are being moved. Therefore, set up a dirent hook to capture parent pointer updates for this file, and replay(?) the updates. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

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 reStructuredText 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.
