-Subject: [PATCH] Revert "ubifs: xattr: Don't operate on deleted inodes"
-
-This reverts commit 8a23348d76a1e7716da6e76383281ac82fc071cf.
-
-UBIFS wants to assert that xattr operations are only issued on files
-with positive link count. The said patch made this operations return
--ENOENT for unlinked files such that the asserts will no longer trigger.
-This was wrong since xattr operations are perfectly fine on unlinked
-files.
-Instead the assertions need to be fixed/removed.
-
-Fixes: 11a6fc3dc743 ("ubifs: xattr: Don't operate on deleted inodes")
-Reported-by: Koen Vandeputte <koen.vandeputte@ncentric.com>
-Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger <richard@nod.at>
