 Details    : don't add dentries with ".." to dcache and ignore such dentries in
             iopen_lookup().
 
+Severity   : critical
+Frequency  : very rare, if additional xattrs are used on kernels >= 2.6.12
+Bugzilla   : 15777
+Description: files may lose file attributes in some cases
+Details    : If there are multiple extended attributes stored on the inode,
+           in particular ACLs, SELinux, or user attributes (if user_xattr
+           is specified for the client mount options) then there is a risk
+           of attribute loss.  If an additional attribute is be stored
+           initially in the inode and then increase in size enough to be
+           moved to the external attribute block (e.g. ACL growing in size)
+           for the attribute to be lost.
