Sorry, I meant to add (before hitting send :-) that the field after i_crtime_extra is supposed to be "i_disk_version_hi". See the patch from Kalpak Shah "[RFC] 64-bit inode version" which also handles the case for expanding i_extra_isize to cover the needed extra fields if i_extra_isize is not large enough. That patch didn't include the 64-bit i_version_hi yet, because there wasn't yet agreement at that time if the iversion_hi should be allocated separately, but that was since decided. Without that patch, your patch will possibly corrupt the extended attributes by just overwriting i_disk_version_hi while ignoring the actual value of i_extra_isize. This would clobber the EA magic and result in loss of all EAs in that inode.
