piaojun 3111784bee fs/9p/xattr.c: catch the error of p9_client_clunk when setting xattr failed
In my testing, v9fs_fid_xattr_set will return successfully even if the
backend ext4 filesystem has no space to store xattr key-value. That will
cause inconsistent behavior between front end and back end. The reason is
that lsetxattr will be triggered by p9_client_clunk, and unfortunately we
did not catch the error. This patch will catch the error to notify upper
caller.

p9_client_clunk (in 9p)
  p9_client_rpc(clnt, P9_TCLUNK, "d", fid->fid);
    v9fs_clunk (in qemu)
      put_fid
        free_fid
          v9fs_xattr_fid_clunk
            v9fs_co_lsetxattr
              s->ops->lsetxattr
                ext4_xattr_user_set (in host ext4 filesystem)

README

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 Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
