Subject: [PATCH 04/14] kernfs: adapt to rhashtable-based simple_xattrs with lazy allocation
Date: Mon, 16 Feb 2026 14:32:00 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260216-work-xattr-socket-v1-4-c2efa4f74cb7@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260216-work-xattr-socket-v1-0-c2efa4f74cb7@kernel.org>

Adapt kernfs to use the rhashtable-based xattr path and switch from an
embedded struct to pointer-based lazy allocation.

Change kernfs_iattrs.xattrs from embedded 'struct simple_xattrs' to a
pointer 'struct simple_xattrs *', initialized to NULL (zeroed by
kmem_cache_zalloc). Since kernfs_iattrs is already lazily allocated
itself, this adds a second level of lazy allocation specifically for
the xattr store.

The xattr store is allocated on first setxattr. Read paths
check for NULL and return -ENODATA or empty list.

Replaced xattr entries are freed via simple_xattr_free_rcu() to allow
concurrent RCU readers to finish.

The cleanup paths in kernfs_free_rcu() and __kernfs_new_node() error
handling conditionally free the xattr store only when allocated.
