In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

xfs: initialise args->total for parent pointer updates

xfs_parent_da_args_init() builds an xfs_da_args from a zeroed
xfs_parent_args (kmem_cache_zalloc), leaving args->total == 0.
xfs_da_grow_inode_int() treats that field as a running block reservation
and subtracts from it; because it is an xfs_extlen_t (uint32_t), the
first attr-fork growth wraps it to ~0U. That defeats the free-space
check in xfs_alloc_space_available(), and when it coincides with an AG
that has exactly zero available blocks the allocation is clamped to
maxlen 0 and returns -ENOSPC, which xfs_defer_finish_noroll() escalates
to a filesystem shutdown.

Set args->total the way the log recovery path does
(xfs_attri_recover_work(), xfs_attr_item.c:706), in the add and replace
paths that can grow the fork. Removals and lookups never grow it, so
they leave the field alone, matching that switch.
