[PATCH] xfs_repair: allow '/' in attribute names

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

 



For some reason, since the earliest days of XFS, a '/' character
in an extended attribute name has been treated as corruption by
xfs_repair.  This despite nothing in other userspace tools or the
kernel having this restriction.

My best guess is that this was an unintentional leftover from
common code between dirs & attrs in the "da" code, and there has
never been a good reason for it.

Since userspace and kernelspace allow such a name to be set,
listed, and read, it seems wrong to flag it as corruption.
So, make this test conditional on whether we're validating a name
in a dir, as opposed to the name of an attr.
