From 98e9cb5711c68223f0e4d5201b9a6add255ec550 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andreas Gruenbacher Date: Wed, 2 Dec 2015 14:44:36 +0100 Subject: vfs: Distinguish between full xattr names and proper prefixes Add an additional "name" field to struct xattr_handler. When the name is set, the handler matches attributes with exactly that name. When the prefix is set instead, the handler matches attributes with the given prefix and with a non-empty suffix. This patch should avoid bugs like the one fixed in commit c361016a in the future.
