+ * Remote Attribute Values
+ * =======================
+ *
+ * Remote extended attribute values are conceptually simple -- they're written
+ * to data blocks mapped by an inode's attribute fork, and they have an upper
+ * size limit of 64k. Setting a value does not involve the XFS log.
+ *
+ * However, on a v5 filesystem, maximally sized remote attr values require one
+ * block more than 64k worth of space to hold both the remote attribute value
+ * header (64 bytes). On a 4k block filesystem this results in a 68k buffer;
+ * on a 64k block filesystem, this would be a 128k buffer. Note that the log
+ * format can only handle a dirty buffer of XFS_MAX_BLOCKSIZE length (64k).
+ * Therefore, we /must/ ensure that remote attribute value buffers never touch
+ * the logging system and therefore never have a log item.
+ */
+
+/*
* Each contiguous block has a header, so it is not just a simple attribute
* length to FSB conversion.
