            Bug ID: 1743782
           Summary: Windows client fails to copy large file to GlusterFS
                    volume share with fruit and streams_xattr VFS modules
                    via Samba
           Product: GlusterFS
           Version: 6
          Hardware: x86_64
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
         Component: md-cache
          Severity: high
          Priority: high

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1726205 +++

Description of problem:
Windows client errors out while copying large file into GlusterFS volume share
configured with fruit and streams_xattr VFS modules. See attachment for error
message.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
master

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a basic distribute-replicate volume
2. Enable "group samba" volume set on the volume
3. Set up a Samba share with fruit and streams_xattr VFS modules
   vfs objects = fruit streams_xattr glusterfs
4. Connect to the share from a Windows client
5. Try to copy a large file(probably with size > 600M) into share

Actual results:
Windows client fails to copy large file with error(see attachment).

Expected results:
Copy completes successfully.

Additional info(root cause):
Problem lies in md-cache layer where it fails to update cache for xattrs with
null value("\0"). Following steps reproduce the core issue on a plain FUSE
mount:

# touch /mnt/glusterfs/foobar

# setfattr -n "user.DosStream.Zone.Identifier:\$DATA" -v "\0"
/mnt/glusterfs/foobar 

# echo $?
0

# getfattr -d -m . -e hex /mnt/glusterfs/foobar 
getfattr: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names
