From a8fb57ec924feec102d477c34a1e21685ff865e9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "zhangyi (F)" Date: Fri, 5 Mar 2021 20:05:08 +0800 Subject: ext4: do not try to set xattr into ea_inode if value is empty commit 6b22489911b726eebbf169caee52fea52013fbdd upstream. Syzbot report a warning that ext4 may create an empty ea_inode if set an empty extent attribute to a file on the file system which is no free blocks left. WARNING: CPU: 6 PID: 10667 at fs/ext4/xattr.c:1640 ext4_xattr_set_entry+0x10f8/0x1114 fs/ext4/xattr.c:1640 ...

Now, ext4 try to store extent attribute into an external inode if ext4_xattr_block_set() return -ENOSPC, but for the case of store an empty extent attribute, store the extent entry into the extent attribute block is enough.
