Subject: [PATCH] xfs_repair: properly detect reserved attribute names
Date: Wed, 13 May 2015 22:29:42 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <555416A6.4020401@redhat.com> (raw)

This function in xfs_repair tries to make sure that if an attr
name reserved for acls exists in the root namespace, then its
value is a valid acl.

However, because it only compares up to the length of the
reserved name, superstrings may match and cause false positive
xfs_repair errors.

Ensure that both the length and the content match before
flagging it as an error.
