When an inode is removed, it may also cause the attribute fork to be removed if it is the last attribute. This transaction gets flushed to the log, but if the system goes down before we could inactivate the symlink, the log recovery tries to inactivate this inode (since it is on the unlinked list) but the verifier trips over the remote value and leaks it. Hence we ended up with a file in this odd state on a "clean" mount. The "obvious" fix is to prohibit erasure of the attr fork to avoid tripping over the verifiers when pptrs are enabled.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
