xattr "trusted" namespace

xattr "trusted" namespace

[Ted Miller]

(If this is the wrong place to ask this question, please feel free to point 
me in a different direction.)

I am working on a system that needs to be able to write to the xattr 
namespace "trusted", as in trusted.xyz.  I only need this support from the 
Linux client, as the target file is being served by a Windows server.  I have 
tried this using Centos (same package versions as RHEL) 6.4, and the writes 
all fail with the default client.  I am hoping that this has been addressed 
in a newer version of the CIFS client.

Is the "trusted" namespace accessible in the current Linux CIFS client?  If 
so, what version of which file(s) do I need to look for?

Thank you,
Ted Miller

I have patches for cifs kernel client for this.  Jeremy Allison was
almost done server patches for samba for the other end.

Since I don't usually do things on the "bleeding edge" of the Linux kernel, 
could you give me a "ballpark" idea of when a 'stable' kernel version that 
includes this functionality might be out?

Assuming Jeremy doesn't run into a strange obstacles on the server
side (requiring protocol changes) - I would expect that the client
side would be in 3.11 kernel (the merge window for 3.11 will open in
about 3 weeks), and the patches are small enough to be easy to
backport if distros wanted.

If I want to patch my own kernel, would it work as far back as 2.6.32 (used 
by current Centos/RHEL)?  Or is it one of those "try it and see" things 
(since the virtual machine wouldn't be doing much else)?

Re: xattr "trusted" namespace

[Ted Miller]

Have these patches been published (on this list or elsewhere)?  If so, please 
point me to them in some way.  (I searched the list archives, but did not 
find a patch for this purpose.)

If they have not been published, are they available for testing, or when will 
they be available?

Re: xattr "trusted" namespace

[Steve French]

I will clean up and repost the client side patches - but also will
check with JRA on the server side of them.
