4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit a082c6f680da298cf075886ff032f32ccb7c5e1a ] Filesystems filter out extended attributes in the "trusted." domain for unprivlieged callers. Overlay calls underlying filesystem's method with elevated privs, so need to do the filtering in overlayfs too.
