From: Miklos Szeredi <miklos@xxxxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 3.18 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== [ Upstream commit 97daf8b97ad6f913a34c82515be64dc9ac08d63e ] When ovl_copy_xattr() encountered a zero size xattr no more xattrs were copied and the function returned success. This is clearly not the desired behavior.
