Hello,

this series applies to current git master. The first 3 patches are cleanup
patches, in the 4th adds extended attributes support. Patch 5 adds a option to
write the used inode number to an extended attribute, so that other offline
tools like IMA, that process the inode number can work. See description of
patch 5 for a detailed explanation.

regards,
Marc

changes since v1:
- add Daniel Walter's reviewed by to patches 1-3
- add option to build without xattr support - patches 4,5 (as Daniel suggested)
- switch from dynamically allocated attr value buffer to fixed size array on stack,
  as inode numbers where not stable between mkfs.ubifs invocations - patch 4
