Hi Sven,
thanks for the patch.
Looking at the details of "xattr_full_name()", this seems quite risky. This
is essentially returning the pointer _before_ "name" on the assumption that
it contains the full "prefix.name" string. IMHO, that is not necessarily a
safe assumption to make several layers down in the code.
James, I thought you had a patch for this to use kasprintf() instead of the
on-stack "fullname" declaration?
Cheers, Andreas
