Subject: [PATCH] xattr: fix EOPNOTSUPP if fs and security xattrs disabled
Date: Wed, 27 May 2020 12:40:37 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200527044037.30414-1-hsiangkao@redhat.com> (raw)

commit f549d6c18c0e ("[PATCH] Generic VFS fallback for security xattrs")
introduces a behavior change of listxattr path therefore listxattr(2)
won't report EOPNOTSUPP correctly if fs and security xattrs disabled.
However it was clearly recorded in manpage all the time.

Noticed when reviewing Chengguang's patch for erofs [1] (together
with ext2, f2fs). I'm not sure if it's the best approach but it
seems that security_inode_listsecurity() has other users and it
mainly focus on reporting these security xattrs...

Thanks,
Gao Xiang
