+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1014308 +++ Description of problem: Copied from the description of the test case: inline symlinks are removed from the inode when an extended attributes forces it into being remote symlink. Warning: this test will ASSERT on unpatched DEBUG XFS. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-3.10.0-23.el7.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run the xfstests test case xfs/298 for xfs fs 2. Check the output Actual results: For symlink size 128, the core.nextents is reported to be 1. Expected results: The core.nextents is 0. Additional info: This seems to have been fixed upstream by [v4] xfs: fix the symbolic link assert in xfs_ifree: http://patchwork.xfs.org/patch/5614/
This is also reproducible in RHEL 6 (kernel-2.6.32-419.el6).

725eb1e xfs: fix the symbolic link assert in xfs_ifree
hm, possibly depending on commit b373e98daa70d7ddb10f53f81e711c4d17651795 Author: Christoph Hellwig <hch> Date: Wed Jul 4 11:13:29 2012 -0400 xfs: clean up xfs_inactive Will have to decide how important this one really is.
I'm going to close this as WONTFIX for now; it's not a trivial upstream patch application and the bug, as far as we know, is only seen in the xfstest specifically designed to trigger it. If we get a customer report of the problem, we can re-open & re-examine this bug.
