[PATCH 4.9.y] ubifs: Massage assert in ubifs_xattr_set() wrt. init_xattrs

From: Julia Cartwright
Date: Tue Feb 13 2018 - 12:14:01 EST


From: Xiaolei Li <xiaolei.li@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

This is a conceptual cherry-pick of commit
d8db5b1ca9d4c57e49893d0f78e6d5ce81450cc8 upstream.

The inode is not locked in init_xattrs when creating a new inode.

Without this patch, there will occurs assert when booting or creating
a new file, if the kernel config CONFIG_SECURITY_SMACK is enabled.

Log likes:

Hey all-

We reproduced the issue fixed upstream by Xiaolei Li's commit in 4.9.y,
with the very similar backtrace:

UBIFS assert failed in __ubifs_setxattr at 282 (pid 1362)

Please consider applying this to 4.9.y at the very least, it may apply
further back as well.

Thanks!
