This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled NFSv4.2: fix listxattr maximum XDR buffer size to the 6.1-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: nfsv4.2-fix-listxattr-maximum-xdr-buffer-size.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 7acca7f9df56a8f90639e8f033a90735cb8d21ab Author: Jorge Mora <jmora1300@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Jan 25 07:51:28 2024 -0700 NFSv4.2: fix listxattr maximum XDR buffer size [ Upstream commit bcac8bff90a6ee1629f90669cdb9d28fb86049b0 ] Switch order of operations to avoid creating a short XDR buffer: e.g., buflen = 12, old xdrlen = 12, new xdrlen = 20. Having a short XDR buffer leads to lxa_maxcount be a few bytes less than what is needed to retrieve the whole list when using a buflen as returned by a call with size = 0: buflen = listxattr(path, NULL, 0); buf = malloc(buflen); buflen = listxattr(path, buf, buflen); For a file with one attribute (name = '123456'), the first call with size = 0 will return buflen = 12 ('user.123456\x00'). The second call with size = 12, sends LISTXATTRS with lxa_maxcount = 12 + 8 (cookie) + 4 (array count) = 24. The XDR buffer needs 8 (cookie) + 4 (array count) + 4 (name count) + 6 (name len) + 2 (padding) + 4 (eof) = 28 which is 4 bytes shorter than the lxa_maxcount provided in the call.
