At this point, this function\nreserves space for inline xattrs at the destination inode without even\nchecking if there is space at the root metadata block. It simply reduces\nthe l_count from 243 to 227 thereby making space of 256 bytes for inline\nxattr whereas the inode already has extents beyond this index (in this\ncase up to 230), thereby causing corruption.\n\nThe fix for this is to reserve space for inline metadata at the destination\ninode before the reflink tree gets recreated.

Para cuando se llama a esta funci\u00f3n, el \u00e1rbol de reflink ya se ha recreado en el inodo de destino a partir del inodo de origen. En este punto, esta funci\u00f3n reserva espacio para xattrs en l\u00ednea en el inodo de destino sin siquiera verificar si hay espacio en el bloque de metadatos ra\u00edz. Simplemente reduce el l_count de 243 a 227, lo que crea un espacio de 256 bytes para xattr en l\u00ednea, mientras que el inodo ya tiene extensiones m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de este \u00edndice (en este caso, hasta 230), lo que provoca corrupci\u00f3n. La soluci\u00f3n para esto es reservar espacio para metadatos en l\u00ednea en el inodo de destino antes de que se vuelva a crear el \u00e1rbol de enlaces de referencia.
