4.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruenba@xxxxxxxxxx> commit ffc4c92227db5699493e43eb140b4cb5904c30ff upstream. Commit 786534b92f3c introduced a regression that caused listxattr to return the POSIX ACL attribute names even though sysfs doesn't support POSIX ACLs. This happens because simple_xattr_list checks for NULL i_acl / i_default_acl, but inode_init_always initializes those fields to ACL_NOT_CACHED ((void *)-1). For example: $ getfattr -m- -d /sys /sys: system.posix_acl_access: Operation not supported /sys: system.posix_acl_default: Operation not supported Fix this in simple_xattr_list by checking if the filesystem supports POSIX ACLs.
