Subject: [PATCH] Smack: check for SMACK xattr max size in  smack_inode_setxattr
Date: Tue, 14 Apr 2009 20:28:06 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <49E4D5B6.80202@numericable.fr> (raw)

the following patch move the check for SMACK xattr size >= SMK_LABELLEN
from  smack_inode_post_setxattr (which cannot return an error to the user)
to smack_inode_setxattr (which can return an error).

without patch a SMACK setxattr with size >= SMK_LABELLEN returns success although it doesn't
