Description of problem:

protocol/server tries to resolve the inodes (of both parent and the entry dipeneding upon the fop) whenever a fop comes to it, before continuing the fop. If it cannot find the inode in the inode table for a gfid (soft resolve), then a lookup is sent on it (hard resolve) to build the inode into the inode table. For sending the lookup as part of resolve it uses same xdata as that of the fop. This causes problems in the below situation.

Lru limit has reached. Because of that some of the inodes have been purged. If all the inodes for the dentries present in a directory are purged, then there is no one holding the ref on the parent directory's inode. So soon it also gets moved to the lru list from the active list and might get purged as well if no one holds a ref on that (means, no new entries are created in it and old entries present in it are not looked up).

Now if a create operation comes within that directory, protocol/server is not able to find the inode for the parent directory's gfid and sends a lookup on it. Now if some xlator wants to get some extended attributes as part of lookup, then they add their xattr names in the xdata (ex: bit-rot-stub adding version, sign and bad-object keys into the dict. And the xdata used here is same as that of the create fop's xdata). The lookup succeeds and now create happens with extra xattr names added in the xdata and posix as part of create sets those xattrs. Since bad-object key is also present, this leads to the object that is created to be treated as bad object for rest of its life and will not allow any i/o on it.

    tests: set inode-lru-limit to 1 and check if bit-rot xattrs are wrongy created
    
    This test sets the lru limit of the inode table to 1 and checks if inode forgets
    and resolve cause any problem with bit-rot xattrs (especially bad-file xattr).
