Re: [PATCH] f2fs: fix to keep backward compatibility of flexible inline xattr feature

[Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk@kernel.org>]

Hi Chao,

It seems this is a critical problem, so let me integrate this patch with your
initial patch "f2fs: support flexible inline xattr size".
Let me know, if you have any other concern.

Thanks,
