v3: * Rebase to v5.8-rc2 * Use length probe + allocate + query for the listxattr and setxattr operations to avoid allocating unneeded space. * Because of the above, drop the 'use kvmalloc for svcxdr_tmpalloc' patch, as it's no longer needed. v2: * As per the discussion, user extended attributes are enabled if the client and server support them (e.g. they support 4.2 and advertise the user extended attribute FATTR). There are no longer options to switch them off. * The code is no longer conditioned on a config option. * The number of patches has been reduced somewhat by merging smaller, related ones. * Renamed some functions and added parameter comments as requested. v1: * Split in to client and server (changed from the original RFC patch). Original RFC combined set is here: https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-nfs/msg74843.html In general, these patches were, both server and client, tested as follows: * stress-ng-xattr with 1000 workers * Test all corner cases (XATTR_SIZE_*) * Test all failure cases (no xattr, setxattr with different or invalid flags, etc). * Verify the content of xattrs across several operations. * Use KASAN and KMEMLEAK for a longer mix of testruns to verify that there were no leaks (after unmounting the filesystem). * Interop run against FreeBSD server/client implementation. * Ran xfstests-dev, with no unexpected/new failures as compared to an unpatched kernel. To fully use xfstests-dev, it needed some modifications, as it expects to either use all xattr namespaces, or none. Whereas NFS only suppors the "user." namespace (+ optional ACLs). I will send the changes in seperately.
