Richard Weinberger 1cb51a15b5 ubifs: Fix journal replay wrt. xattr nodes
When replaying the journal it can happen that a journal entry points to
a garbage collected node.
This is the case when a power-cut occurred between a garbage collect run
and a commit. In such a case nodes have to be read using the failable
read functions to detect whether the found node matches what we expect.

One corner case was forgotten, when the journal contains an entry to
remove an inode all xattrs have to be removed too. UBIFS models xattr
like directory entries, so the TNC code iterates over
all xattrs of the inode and removes them too. This code re-uses the
functions for walking directories and calls ubifs_tnc_next_ent().
ubifs_tnc_next_ent() expects to be used only after the journal and
aborts when a node does not match the expected result. This behavior can
render an UBIFS volume unmountable after a power-cut when xattrs are
used.

Fix this issue by using failable read functions in ubifs_tnc_next_ent()
too when replaying the journal.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
