 * the upcase table.  If @ic is CASE_SENSITIVE, the comparison is case
 * sensitive.  When @name is present, @name_len is the @name length in Unicode
 * characters.
 *
 * If @name is not present (NULL), we assume that the unnamed attribute is
 * being searched for.
 *
 * Finally, the resident attribute value @val is looked for, if present.  If
 * @val is not present (NULL), @val_len is ignored.
 *
 * ntfs_attr_find() only searches the specified mft record and it ignores the
 * presence of an attribute list attribute (unless it is the one being searched
 * for, obviously).  If you need to take attribute lists into consideration,
 * use ntfs_attr_lookup() instead (see below).  This also means that you cannot
 * use ntfs_attr_find() to search for extent records of non-resident
 * attributes, as extents with lowest_vcn != 0 are usually described by the
 * attribute list attribute only. - Note that it is possible that the first
 * extent is only in the attribute list while the last extent is in the base
 * mft record, so do not rely on being able to find the first extent in the
 * base mft record.
 *
 * Warning: Never use @val when looking for attribute types which can be
 *	    non-resident as this most likely will result in a crash!

 * @ctx:	search context with mft record and attribute to search from
 *
 * You should not need to call this function directly.  Use ntfs_attr_lookup()
 * instead.
 *
 * Find an attribute by searching the attribute list for the corresponding
 * attribute list entry.  Having found the entry, map the mft record if the
 * attribute is in a different mft record/inode, ntfs_attr_find() the attribute
 * in there and return it.
 *
 * On first search @ctx->ntfs_ino must be the base mft record and @ctx must
 * have been obtained from a call to ntfs_attr_get_search_ctx().  On subsequent
 * calls @ctx->ntfs_ino can be any extent inode, too (@ctx->base_ntfs_ino is
 * then the base inode).
 *
 * After finishing with the attribute/mft record you need to call
 * ntfs_attr_put_search_ctx() to cleanup the search context (unmapping any
 * mapped inodes, etc).
 *
 * If the attribute is found, ntfs_external_attr_find() returns 0 and
 * @ctx->attr will point to the found attribute.  @ctx->mrec will point to the
 * mft record in which @ctx->attr is located and @ctx->al_entry will point to
 * the attribute list entry for the attribute.
 *
 * If the attribute is not found, ntfs_external_attr_find() returns -ENOENT and
 * @ctx->attr will point to the attribute in the base mft record before which
 * the attribute being searched for would need to be inserted if such an action
 * were to be desired.  @ctx->mrec will point to the mft record in which
 * @ctx->attr is located and @ctx->al_entry will point to the attribute list
 * entry of the attribute before which the attribute being searched for would
 * need to be inserted if such an action were to be desired.
 *
 * Thus to insert the not found attribute, one wants to add the attribute to
 * @ctx->mrec (the base mft record) and if there is not enough space, the
 * attribute should be placed in a newly allocated extent mft record.  The
 * attribute list entry for the inserted attribute should be inserted in the
 * attribute list attribute at @ctx->al_entry.
 *
 * On actual error, ntfs_external_attr_find() returns -EIO.  In this case
 * @ctx->attr is undefined and in particular do not rely on it not changing.

/**
 * ntfs_attr_set - fill (a part of) an attribute with a byte
 * @ni:		ntfs inode describing the attribute to fill
 * @ofs:	offset inside the attribute at which to start to fill
 * @cnt:	number of bytes to fill
 * @val:	the unsigned 8-bit value with which to fill the attribute
 *
 * Fill @cnt bytes of the attribute described by the ntfs inode @ni starting at
 * byte offset @ofs inside the attribute with the constant byte @val.
 *
 * This function is effectively like memset() applied to an ntfs attribute.
 * Note thie function actually only operates on the page cache pages belonging
 * to the ntfs attribute and it marks them dirty after doing the memset().
 * Thus it relies on the vm dirty page write code paths to cause the modified
 * pages to be written to the mft record/disk.
 *
 * Return 0 on success and -errno on error.  An error code of -ESPIPE means
 * that @ofs + @cnt were outside the end of the attribute and no write was
 * performed.
