+#define S_NOSEC		4096	/* no suid or xattr security attributes */

Sorry for reading that wrong, since selinux stores stuff under security.* xattr
as well.

+	int issec = !strncmp(name, XATTR_SECURITY_PREFIX,
+				   XATTR_SECURITY_PREFIX_LEN);
 
is going to match *any* security.* attribute, including SELinux ones stored under
security.selinux.  If you wanted to be capability-specific, maybe youw anted these
two:

#define XATTR_CAPS_SUFFIX "capability"
#define XATTR_NAME_CAPS XATTR_SECURITY_PREFIX XATTR_CAPS_SUFFIX
