4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 8b326c61de08f5ca4bc454a168f19e7e43c4cc2a upstream. Be defensive about what underlying fs provides us in the returned xattr list buffer. strlen() may overrun the buffer, so use strnlen() and WARN if the contents are not properly null terminated.
