+/*
+ * Extended attributes are stored on disk blocks allocated outside of
+ * any inode. The i_file_acl field is then made to point to this allocated
+ * block. If all extended attributes of an inode are identical, these
+ * inodes may share the same extended attribute block. Such situations
+ * are automatically detected by keeping a cache of recent attribute block
+ * numbers and hashes over the block's contents in memory.
+ *
+ *
+ * Extended attribute block layout:
+ *
+ *   +------------------+
+ *   | header           |
+ *   | entry 1          | |
+ *   | entry 2          | | growing downwards
+ *   | entry 3          | v
+ *   | four null bytes  |
+ *   | . . .            |
+ *   | value 1          | ^
+ *   | value 3          | | growing upwards
+ *   | value 2          | |
+ *   +------------------+
+ *
+ * The block header is followed by multiple entry descriptors. These entry
+ * descriptors are variable in size, and alligned to EXT2_XATTR_PAD
+ * byte boundaries. The entry descriptors are sorted by attribute name,
+ * so that two extended attribute blocks can be compared efficiently.
+ *
+ * Attribute values are aligned to the end of the block, stored in
+ * no specific order. They are also padded to EXT2_XATTR_PAD byte
+ * boundaries. No additional gaps are left between them.
+ *
+ * Locking strategy
+ * ----------------
+ * EXT2_I(inode)->i_file_acl is protected by EXT2_I(inode)->xattr_sem.
+ * EA blocks are only changed if they are exclusive to an inode, so
+ * holding xattr_sem also means that nothing but the EA block's reference
+ * count will change. Multiple writers to an EA block are synchronized
+ * by the bh lock. No more than a single bh lock is held at any time
+ * to avoid deadlocks.
