Subject: [LTP] [PATCH v2 2/2] setxattr02: Adapt test for kernel 7.1.0+ socket xattr support
Date: Sat, 14 Mar 2026 16:13:04 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260314151304.82136-3-japo@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260314151304.82136-1-japo@linux.ibm.com>
Starting with kernel 7.1.0, sockets support extended attributes in the
user.* namespace. This behavior was enabled by dc0876b9846d ("xattr:
support extended attributes on sockets"), which permits user.* xattrs on
S_IFSOCK inodes (previously rejected with -EPERM).
Adapts the test to expect success (exp_err = 0) instead of EPERM when
testing setxattr(2) on sockets with kernel 7.1.0+.
