Pull xfs extended attribute fixes for CRCs from Ben Myers:
 "Here are several fixes that are relevant on CRC enabled XFS
  filesystems.  They are followed by a rework of the remote attribute
  code so that each block of the attribute contains a header with a CRC.

  Previously there was a CRC header per extent in the remote attribute
  code, but this was untenable because it was not possible to know how
  many extents would be allocated for the attribute until after the
  allocation has completed, due to the fragmentation of free space.
  This became complicated because the size of the headers needs to be
  added to the length of the payload to get the overall length required
  for the allocation.  With a header per block, things are less
  complicated at the cost of a little space.

  I would have preferred to defer this and the rest of the CRC queue to
  3.11 to mitigate risk for existing non-crc users in 3.10.  Doing so
  would require setting a feature bit for the on-disk changes, and so I
  have been pressured into sending this pull request by Eric Sandeen and
  David Chinner from Red Hat.  I'll send another pull request or two
  with the rest of the CRC queue next week.

   - Remove assert on count of remote attribute CRC headers
   - Fix the number of blocks read in for remote attributes
   - Zero remote attribute tails properly
   - Fix mapping of remote attribute buffers to have correct length
   - initialize temp leaf properly in xfs_attr3_leaf_unbalance, and
     xfs_attr3_leaf_compact
   - Rework remote atttributes to have a header per block"

* tag 'for-linus-v3.10-rc4-crc-xattr-fixes' of git://oss.sgi.com/xfs/xfs:
  xfs: rework remote attr CRCs
  xfs: fully initialise temp leaf in xfs_attr3_leaf_compact
  xfs: fully initialise temp leaf in xfs_attr3_leaf_unbalance
  xfs: correctly map remote attr buffers during removal
  xfs: remote attribute tail zeroing does too much
  xfs: remote attribute read too short
  xfs: remote attribute allocation may be contiguous
