While running xfs/297 and generic/642, I noticed a crash in
xfs_attri_item_relog when it tries to copy the attr name to the new
xattri log item. I think what happened here was that we called
->iop_commit on the old attri item (which nulls out the pointers) as
part of a log force at the same time that a chained attr operation was
ongoing. The system was busy enough that at some later point, the defer
ops operation decided it was necessary to relog the attri log item, but
as we've detached the name buffer from the old attri log item, we can't
copy it to the new one, and kaboom.
I think there's a broader refcounting problem with LARP mode -- the
setxattr code can return to userspace before the CIL actually formats
and commits the log item, which results in a UAF bug. Therefore, the
xattr log item needs to be able to retain a reference to the name and
value buffers until the log items have completely cleared the log.
Furthermore, each time we create an intent log item, we allocate new
memory and (re)copy the contents; sharing here would be very useful.
Solve the UAF and the unnecessary memory allocations by having the log
code create a single refcounted buffer to contain the name and value
contents. This buffer can be passed from old to new during a relog
operation, and the logging code can (optionally) attach it to the
xfs_attr_item for reuse when LARP mode is enabled.
This also fixes a problem where the xfs_attri_log_item objects weren't
being freed back to the same cache where they came from.

Everywhere else in XFS, structures that capture the state of an ongoing
deferred work item all have names that end with "_intent". The new
extended attribute deferred work items are not named as such, so fix it
to follow the naming convention used elsewhere.

Initialize and destroy the xattr log item caches in the same places that
we do all the other log item caches.

Currently attributes are modified directly across one or more
transactions. But they are not logged or replayed in the event of an
error. The goal of log attr replay is to enable logging and replaying
of attribute operations using the existing delayed operations
infrastructure. This will later enable the attributes to become part of
larger multi part operations that also must first be recorded to the
log. This is mostly of interest in the scheme of parent pointers which
would need to maintain an attribute containing parent inode information
any time an inode is moved, created, or removed. Parent pointers would
then be of interest to any feature that would need to quickly derive an
inode path from the mount point. Online scrub, nfs lookups and fs grow
or shrink operations are all features that could take advantage of this.
This patch adds two new log item types for setting or removing
attributes as deferred operations. The xfs_attri_log_item will log an
intent to set or remove an attribute. The corresponding
xfs_attrd_log_item holds a reference to the xfs_attri_log_item and is
freed once the transaction is done. Both log items use a generic
xfs_attr_log_format structure that contains the attribute name, value,
flags, inode, and an op_flag that indicates if the operations is a set
or remove.
[dchinner: added extra little bits needed for intent whiteouts]
