commit 3111784bee81591ea2815011688d28b65df03627 upstream.
In my testing, v9fs_fid_xattr_set will return successfully even if the backend ext4 filesystem has no space to store xattr key-value. That will cause inconsistent behavior between front end and back end. The reason is that lsetxattr will be triggered by p9_client_clunk, and unfortunately we did not catch the error. This patch will catch the error to notify upper caller.
p9_client_clunk (in 9p) p9_client_rpc(clnt, P9_TCLUNK, "d", fid->fid); v9fs_clunk (in qemu) put_fid free_fid v9fs_xattr_fid_clunk v9fs_co_lsetxattr s->ops->lsetxattr ext4_xattr_user_set (in host ext4 filesystem)
