When removing files containing extended attributes, the hfsplus driver may remove the wrong entries from the attributes b-tree, causing major filesystem damage and in some cases even kernel crashes. To remove a file, all its extended attributes have to be removed as well. The driver does this by looking up all keys in the attributes b-tree with the cnid of the file. Each of these entries then gets deleted using the key used for searching, which doesn't contain the attribute's name when it should. Since the key doesn't contain the name, the deletion routine will not find the correct entry and instead remove the one in front of it. If parent nodes have to be modified, these become corrupt as well. This causes invalid links and unsorted entries that not even macOS's fsck_hfs is able to fix. To fix this, modify the search key before an entry is deleted from the attributes b-tree by copying the found entry's key into the search key, therefore ensuring that the correct entry gets removed from the tree.

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.
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.
