When a directory changes from shortform (sf) to block format, the sf format is copied to a temporary buffer, the inode format is modified and the updated format filled with the dentries from the temporary buffer. If the inode format is modified and attempt to grow the inode fails (due to I/O error, for example), it is possible to return an error while leaving the directory in an inconsistent state and with an otherwise clean transaction. This results in corruption of the associated directory and leads to xfs_dabuf_map() errors as subsequent lookups cannot accurately determine the format of the directory. This problem is reproduced occasionally by generic/475. The fundamental problem is that xfs_dir2_sf_to_block() changes the on-disk inode format without logging the inode. The inode is eventually logged by the bmapi layer in the common case, but error checking introduces the possibility of failing the high level request before this happens. Update both of the dir2 and attr callers of xfs_bmap_local_to_extents_empty() to log the inode core as consistent with the bmap local to extent format change codepath. This ensures that any subsequent errors after the format has changed cause the transaction to abort.

README
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.
