If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ---8<------------------------------------------------------------ From: Miklos Szeredi commit 97daf8b97ad6f913a34c82515be64dc9ac08d63e upstream. When ovl_copy_xattr() encountered a zero size xattr no more xattrs were copied and the function returned success. This is clearly not the desired behavior.
