hfsplus: fix generic/037 xfstests failure
The xfstests' test-case generic/037 fails to execute correctly: FSTYP -- hfsplus PLATFORM -- Linux/x86_64 hfsplus-testing-0001 6.15.0-rc4+ #8 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu May 1 16:43:22 PDT 2025 MKFS_OPTIONS -- /dev/loop51 MOUNT_OPTIONS -- /dev/loop51 /mnt/scratch generic/037 - output mismatch (see xfstests-dev/results//generic/037.out.bad) The goal of generic/037 test-case is to "verify that replacing a xattr's value is an atomic operation". The test "consists of removing the old value and then inserting the new value in a btree. This made readers (getxattr and listxattrs) not getting neither the old nor the new value during a short time window". The HFS+ has the issue of executing the xattr replace operation because __hfsplus_setxattr() method [1] implemented it as not atomic operation [2]: if (hfsplus_attr_exists(inode, name)) { if (flags & XATTR_CREATE) { pr_err("xattr exists yet\n"); err = -EOPNOTSUPP; goto end_setxattr; } err = hfsplus_delete_attr(inode, name); if (err) goto end_setxattr; err = hfsplus_create_attr(inode, name, value, size); if (err) goto end_setxattr; } The main issue of the logic that it implements delete and create of xattr as independent atomic operations, but the replace operation at whole is not atomic operation. This patch implements a new hfsplus_replace_attr() method that makes the xattr replace operation by atomic one. Also, it reworks hfsplus_create_attr() and hfsplus_delete_attr() with the goal of reusing the common logic in hfsplus_replace_attr() method. sudo ./check generic/037 FSTYP -- hfsplus PLATFORM -- Linux/x86_64 hfsplus-testing-0001 6.19.0-rc1+ #47 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu Jan 8 15:37:20 PST 2026 MKFS_OPTIONS -- /dev/loop51 MOUNT_OPTIONS -- /dev/loop51 /mnt/scratch generic/037 37s ... 37s Ran: generic/037 Passed all 1 tests [1] https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.19-rc4/source/fs/hfsplus/xattr.c#L261 [2] https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.19-rc4/source/fs/hfsplus/xattr.c#L338 Signed-off-by: Viacheslav Dubeyko <slava@dubeyko.com> cc: John Paul Adrian Glaubitz <glaubitz@physik.fu-berlin.de> cc: Yangtao Li <frank.li@vivo.com> cc: linux-fsdevel@vger.kernel.org Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260109234213.2805400-1-slava@dubeyko.com Signed-off-by: Viacheslav Dubeyko <slava@dubeyko.com>
