Hello,

I test xattr operation on virtiofs using xfstest generic/062
(with -o xattr option and XFS backend) and see some problems.

These patches fixes the two of the problems.

The remaining problems are:
 1. we cannot xattr to block device created by mknod
    which does not have actual device (since open in virtiofsd fails)
 2. we cannot xattr to symbolic link

I don't think 1 is a big problem but can we fix 2?

Misono Tomohiro (2):
  virtiofsd: Avoid process hang when doing xattr operation to FIFO
  virtiofsd: Allow setxattr operation to directry
