Re: [LTP] [PATCH v4 2/2] Add listxattr04 reproducer

[Petr Vorel <pvorel@suse.cz>]

Hi Andrea,

FYI Andrea's LTP reproducer for a bug introduced in
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=8b0ba61df5a1
and fixed in
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=800d0b9b6a8b

The original verifier from RH bugreport check sizes and also works if size > -1
is returned, but I guess it's not necessary, because Andrea's reproducer works
as expected (fails on affected 6.16-rc1 based openSUSE kernel, works on 6.15.x).

LGTM.
