If a file is hardlinked with the same name but from multiple parents, the parent pointers will all have the same dirent name (== attr name) but with different parent_ino/parent_gen values. To disambiguate, we need to be able to match on both the attr name and the attr value. This is in contrast to regular xattrs, which are matchtg edit d only on name. Therefore, plumb in the ability to match shortform and local attrs on name and value in the XFS_ATTR_PARENT namespace. Parent pointer attr values are never large enough to be stored in a remote attr, so we need can reject these cases as corruption. 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.
