[PATCH v3 0/4]: generic/020: fix MAX_ATTRVAL_SIZE values

[Date Prev] [Date Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Date Index] [Thread Index]



MAX_ATTRVAL_SIZE provides a per-filesystem maximum xattr value length
limit. There are a few problems with the current values:
- XFS, UDF and Btrfs are incorrectly hardcoded to use 64 bytes
  + This is a regression from the larger value used prior to fff4359d
  + Btrfs's should be calculated using nodesize and xattr name length
- NFS currently uses a 64K limit
  + This may be above the server's underlying failsystem limit, so use
    a conservative estimate instead

The changes are split into four patches to ease review, but feel free
to squash as deemed necessary.

Changes since v2:
- move _attr_get_max() helper into generic/020 and use test-local
  $max_attrs / $max_attrval_size variables
- minor commit message changes
