[PATCH 4.4 123/137] ovl: allow zero size xattr

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

 



4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Miklos Szeredi <miklos@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 97daf8b97ad6f913a34c82515be64dc9ac08d63e upstream.

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.
