Honor xattr=sa dataset property
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
ZFS incorrectly uses directory-based extended attributes even when
xattr=sa is specified as a dataset property or mount option. Support to
honor temporary mount options including "xattr" was added in commit
0282c41. There are two issues with the
mount option handling:

* Libzfs has historically included "xattr" in its list of default mount
  options. This overrides the dataset property, so the dataset is always
  configured to use directory-based xattrs even when the xattr dataset
  property is set to off or sa. Address this by removing "xattr" from
  the set of default mount options in libzfs.

* There was no way to enable system attribute-based extended attributes
  using temporary mount options. Add the mount options "saxattr" and
  "dirxattr" which enable the xattr behavior their names suggest.  This
  approach has the advantages of mirroring the valid xattr dataset
  property values and following existing conventions for mount option
  names.
