Took a brief look at the zfs code, seems like a zfs bug. diff --git a/module/zfs/zpl_xattr.c b/module/zfs/zpl_xattr.c index c03764f..96db7dd 100644 --- a/module/zfs/zpl_xattr.c +++ b/module/zfs/zpl_xattr.c @@ -263,6 +263,9 @@ zpl_xattr_get_sa(struct inode *ip, const char *name, void *value, size_t size) if (!size) return (nv_size); + if (size < nv_size) + return (-ERANGE); + memcpy(value, nv_value, MIN(size, nv_size)); return (MIN(size, nv_size)); This should fix it. Not tested of course.
