+Subject: ocfs2/xattr: Merge xattr set transaction.
+Patch-mainline: 2.6.29
+
+In current ocfs2/xattr, the whole xattr set is divided into
+many steps are many transaction are used, this make the
+xattr set process isn't like a real transaction, so this
+patch try to merge all the transaction into one. Another
+benefit is that acl can use it easily now.
+
+I don't merge the transaction of deleting xattr when we
+remove an inode. The reason is that if we have a large number
+of xattrs and every xattrs has large values(large enough
+for outside storage), the whole transaction will be very
+huge and it looks like jbd can't handle it(I meet with a
+jbd complain once). And the old inode removal is also divided
+into many steps, so I'd like to leave as it is.
+
+Note:
+In xattr set, I try to avoid ocfs2_extend_trans since if
+the credits aren't enough for the extension, it will commit
+all the dirty blocks and create a new transaction which may
+lead to inconsistency in metadata. All ocfs2_extend_trans
+remained are safe now.
