Subject: [PATCH] ovl: filter of trusted xattr results in audit
Date: Mon,  7 Oct 2019 09:09:16 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191007160918.29504-1-salyzyn@android.com> (raw)

When filtering xattr list for reading, presence of trusted xattr
results in a security audit log.  However, if there is other content
no errno will be set, and if there isn't, the errno will be -ENODATA
and not -EPERM as is usually associated with a lack of capability.
The check does not block the request to list the xattrs present.

Switch to has_capability_noaudit to reflect a more appropriate check.
