[PATCH 44/45] ocfs2/xattr: Fix a bug in xattr allocation estimation

From: Mark Fasheh
Date: Fri Dec 19 2008 - 17:09:43 EST


From: Tao Ma <tao.ma@xxxxxxxxxx>

When we extend one xattr's value to a large size, the old value size might
be smaller than the size of a value root. In those cases, we still need to
guess the metadata allocation.
