The leaf format xattr addition helper xfs_attr3_leaf_add_work() adjusts the block freemap in a couple places. The first update drops the size of the freemap that the caller had already selected to place the xattr name/value data. Before the function returns, it also checks whether the entries array has encroached on a freemap range by virtue of the new entry addition. This is necessary because the entries array grows from the start of the block (but end of the block header) towards the end of the block while the name/value data grows from the end of the block in the opposite direction. If the associated freemap is already empty, however, size is zero and the subtraction underflows the field and causes corruption. This is reproduced rarely by generic/070. The observed behavior is that a smaller sized freemap is aligned to the end of the entries list, several subsequent xattr additions land in larger freemaps and the entries list expands into the smaller freemap until it is fully consumed and then underflows. Note that it is not otherwise a corruption for the entries array to consume an empty freemap because the nameval list (i.e. the firstused pointer in the xattr header) starts beyond the end of the corrupted freemap. Update the freemap size modification to account for the fact that the freemap entry can be empty and thus stale. Signed-off-by: Brian Foster <bfoster@redhat.com> Reviewed-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 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.
