Subject: ocfs2: enable ocfs2_listxattr for special files
Date: Tue, 12 Mar 2024 12:29:08 +0800
For special files in S_IFBLK/S_IFCHR/S_IFIFO type, we already have
ocfs2_setattr and ocfs2_getattr enabled. It's confusing for user space if
it can use setattr/getattr to control one attribute appointed but can not
list attributes using listxattr for above type files:
$ mknod /mnt/b b 0 0
$ setfattr -h -n trusted.name -v 0xbabe /mnt/b
$ getfattr -n trusted.name /mnt/b
getfattr: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names
trusted.name=0sur4=
$ getfattr -m trusted /mnt/b
$
Fix it by enabling ocfs2_listxattr for ocfs2_special_file_iops. After the
commit, fstests/generic/062 will pass.
