[PATCH] xfs_repair: allow '/' in attribute names

[PATCH] xfs_repair: allow '/' in attribute names

[Eric Sandeen]

For some reason, since the earliest days of XFS, a '/' character
in an extended attribute name has been treated as corruption by
xfs_repair.  This despite nothing in other userspace tools or the
kernel having this restriction.

My best guess is that this was an unintentional leftover from
common code between dirs & attrs in the "da" code, and there has
never been a good reason for it.

Since userspace and kernelspace allow such a name to be set,
listed, and read, it seems wrong to flag it as corruption.
So, make this test conditional on whether we're validating a name
in a dir, as opposed to the name of an attr.

Hmmmm. that's kinda messy. How about:

bool
attr_namecheck(
	uint8_t	name,
	int	length)
{
	return namecheck((char *)name, length, false);

That gets rid of the casts out of this code as well, and hides
the boolean inside the scope where it has meaning.

same for these - convert to a dir_namecheck() wrapper function....

Can you put the dir/attr name verifier function(s) into libxfs so I can
reuse it in scrub instead of opencoding the same in there?  Pretty
please? :D

[PATCH V2] xfs_repair: allow '/' in attribute names

[Eric Sandeen]

For some reason, since the earliest days of XFS, a '/' character
in an extended attribute name has been treated as corruption by
xfs_repair.  This despite nothing in other userspace tools or the
kernel having this restriction.

My best guess is that this was an unintentional leftover from
common code between dirs & attrs in the "da" code, and there has
never been a good reason for it.

Since userspace and kernelspace allow such a name to be set,
listed, and read, it seems wrong to flag it as corruption.
So, make this test conditional on whether we're validating a name
in a dir, as opposed to the name of an attr.
