commit 819f9ab430a4478ce519e5cc8ae4de438d8ad4ba
category: bugfix
issue: #I3ZXZF
Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?i...
---------------------------
Since ubifs_xattr_get and ubifs_xattr_set cannot being executed
parallelly after importing @host_ui->xattr_sem, now we can remove
ui_mutex imported by commit ab92a20bce3b4c2 ("ubifs: make
ubifs_[get|set]xattr atomic").
@xattr_size, @xattr_names and @xattr_cnt can't be out of protection
by @host_ui->mutex yet, they are sill accesed in other places, such as
pack_inode() called by ubifs_write_inode() triggered by page-writeback.
