Subject: [LTP] [PATCH v4 2/2] setxattr02: Adapt test for kernel 7.1.0+ socket xattr support
Date: Wed, 18 Mar 2026 12:13:06 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260318111306.98139-3-japo@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260318111306.98139-1-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+.

Behavior:
- Kernel < 7.1.0: setxattr() on socket returns -EPERM (original behavior)
- Kernel >= 7.1.0: setxattr() on socket returns 0 (success, new behavior)
