Define erofs_listxattr and erofs_xattr_handlers to NULL when
CONFIG_EROFS_FS_XATTR is not enabled, then we can remove many
ugly ifdef macros in the code.

It seems equivalent. And it seems ext2 and f2fs behave in the same way...
But I'm not sure whether we'd return 0 (if I didn't see fs/xattr.c by mistake)
or -EOPNOTSUPP here... Some thoughts about this?

Anyway, I'm fine with that if return 0 is okay here, but I'd like to know your
and Chao's thoughts about this... I will play with it later as well.

I posted similar patch for ext2 and Jack merged to
his tree the other day, though that series also
included a real bugfix. I also posted similar patch
to f2fs, so if erofs and f2fs merge these patches
then all three will behave in the same way, ;-)

You may refer below link for the detail.

Originally, we set erofs_listxattr to ->listxattr only
when the config macro CONFIG_EROFS_FS_XATTR is enabled,
it means that erofs_listxattr() never returns -EOPNOTSUPP
in any case, so actually there is no logic change here,
right?

Yeah, I agree there is no logic change, so I'm fine with the patch.
But I'm little worry about if return 0 is actually wrong here...

see the return value at:

Yeah, I guess vfs should check that whether lower filesystem has set .listxattr
callback function to decide to return that value, something like:

static ssize_t
ecryptfs_listxattr(struct dentry *dentry, char *list, size_t size)
{
...
	if (!d_inode(lower_dentry)->i_op->listxattr) {
		rc = -EOPNOTSUPP;
		goto out;
	}
...
	rc = d_inode(lower_dentry)->i_op->listxattr(lower_dentry, list, size);
...
}

This approach seems better. ;) Let me recheck all of this.
Maybe we could submit a patch to fsdevel for some further advice...
