+struct xattr_handlers
+---------------------
+
+On filesystems that support extended attributes (xattrs), the s_xattr
+superblock field points to a NULL-terminated array of xattr handlers. Extended
+attributes are name:value pairs.
+
+ name: Indicates that the handler matches attributes with the specified name
+ (such as "system.posix_acl_access"); the prefix field must be NULL.
+
+ prefix: Indicates that the handler matches all attributes with the specified
+ name prefix (such as "user."); the name field must be NULL.
+
+ list: Determine if attributes matching this xattr handler should be listed
+ for a particular dentry. Used by some listxattr implementations like
+ generic_listxattr.
+
+ get: Called by the VFS to get the value of a particular extended attribute.
+ This method is called by the getxattr(2) system call.
+
+ set: Called by the VFS to set the value of a particular extended attribute.
+ When the new value is NULL, called to remove a particular extended
+ attribute. This method is called by the the setxattr(2) and
+ removexattr(2) system calls.
+
+When none of the xattr handlers of a filesystem match the specified attribute
+name or when a filesystem doesn't support extended attributes, the various
+*xattr(2) system calls return -EOPNOTSUPP.
