This sort of information isn't needed (or desired) when this patch hits the
git tree.  Please ensure that things like this are cleaned up before the
patches go to Linus.

This patch has lots of unneeded braces in it.  checkpatch appears to catch
them.

Maybe that message should come out once per mount rather than once per boot
(or once per modprobe)?

What are the consequences of a jbd2_journal_extend() failure in here?

This is far too large to be inlined.

This function needs a comment explaining what it does.  Most functions do..

What is the locking for i_state?

This function could do with an overall comment.

Under what circumstances will that new BUG_ON trigger?  Can it be triggered
via incorrect disk contents?  If so, it should not be there.

So..  xattr_sem is a lock which protects i_extra_isize?  That seems a bit
strange to me - I'd have expected i_mutex.

Aren't we missing a brelse(bh) here?

These two initialisations actually aren't needed, but they serve as
commentary if that is what was intended.

It would be better to do

		unsigned int total_size;	/* description */
		unsigned int shift_bytes;	/* description */
		unsigned int temp = ~0U;	/* description */

because a) it is more readable, b) it makes subsequent patches cleaner and
c) it leaves room for descriptions.  c) is particularly important for
variables which are called "tmp" and "temp".

Please don't call variables "tmp" or "temp".

Two unneeded (and undesirable) casts of void*

Two more unneeded casts.

This code should use kzalloc().

Check kmalloc() failure, add recovery code.  The fault-injection framework
might be useful when testing that recovery code.

Lots of unneeded casts there.

kfree(NULL) is legal.  (Can we teach checkpatch about this?)

We're doing GFP_KERNEL memory allocations while holding xattr_sem.  This
can cause the VM to reenter the filesystem, perhaps taking i_mutex and/or
i_truncate_sem and/or journal_start() (I forget whether this still
happens).  Have we checked whether this can occur and if so, whether we are
OK from a lock ranking POV?  Bear in mind that journalled-data mode is more
complex in this regard.

Neither of these _have_ to be implemented as macros and hence they should
not be.
