tmpfs wants to support limited user extended attributes, but kernfs (or cgroupfs, the only kernfs with KERNFS_ROOT_SUPPORT_USER_XATTR) already supports user extended attributes through simple xattrs: but limited by a policy (128KiB per inode) too liberal to be used on tmpfs. To allow a different limiting policy for tmpfs, without affecting the policy for kernfs, change simple_xattr_set() to return the replaced or removed xattr (if any), leaving the caller to update their accounting then free the xattr (by simple_xattr_free(), renamed from the static free_simple_xattr()).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
