Subject: [PATCH 004 of 16] knfsd: nfsd4: fix acl xattr length return
Date: Mon, 3 Apr 2006 15:18:23 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1060403051823.1771@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20060403151452.1567.patches@notabene
We should be using the length from the second vfs_getxattr, in case it
changed. (Note: there's still a small race here; we could end up returning
-ENOMEM if the length increased between the first and second call. I don't
know whether it's worth spending a lot of effort to fix that.)
This makes XFS ACLs usable on NFS exports, which they currently aren't,
since XFS appears to be returning a too-large value for vfs_getxattr() when
it's passed a NULL buffer. So there's probably an XFS bug here too, though
since getxattr with a NULL buffer is usually used to decide how much memory
to allocate, it may be a fairly harmless bug in most cases.
