Subject: ovl: listxattr: use strnlen()
From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 7cb35119d067191ce9ebc380a599db0b03cbd9d9 upstream.
Be defensive about what underlying fs provides us in the returned xattr
list buffer. If it's not properly null terminated, bail out with a warning
insead of BUG.
