Subject: [PATCH] xattr: guard against simultaneous glibc header inclusion
Date: Fri, 7 Mar 2014 09:42:39 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140307154239.GA25052@sergelap> (raw)

If the glibc xattr.h header is included after the uapi header,
compilation fails due to an enum re-using a #define from the
uapi header.  Protect against this by guarding the define and
enum inclusions against each other.

(See https://lists.debian.org/debian-glibc/2014/03/msg00029.html
and https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Synchronizing_Headers
for more information.)
