This patch modifies the interface to inode_getsecurity to have the function
return a buffer containing the security blob and its length via parameters
instead of relying on the calling function to give it an appropriately sized
buffer.
Security blobs obtained with this function should be freed using the
release_secctx LSM hook. This alleviates the problem of the caller having to
guess a length and preallocate a buffer for this function allowing it to be
used elsewhere for Labeled NFS.
The patch also removed the unused err parameter. The conversion is similar to
the one performed by Al Viro for the security_getprocattr hook.

This patch moves code out of fs/xattr.c:listxattr into a new function -
vfs_listxattr. The code for vfs_listxattr was originally submitted by Bill
Nottingham <notting@redhat.com> to Unionfs.
Sorry about that. The reason for this submission is to make the
listxattr code in fs/xattr.c a little cleaner (as well as to clean up
some code in Unionfs.)
Currently, Unionfs has vfs_listxattr defined in its code. I think
that's very ugly, and I'd like to see it (re)moved. The logical place
to put it, is along side of all the other vfs_*xattr functions.
Overall, I think this patch is benefitial for both kernel.org kernel and
Unionfs.

)
From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
The xattr code has rather complex permission checks because the rules are very
different for different attribute namespaces. This patch moves as much as we
can into the generic code. Currently all the major disk based filesystems
duplicate these checks, while many minor filesystems or network filesystems
lack some or all of them.
To do this we need defines for the extended attribute names in common code, I
moved them up from JFS which had the nicest defintions.

Add vfs_getxattr, vfs_setxattr and vfs_removexattr helpers for common checks
around invocation of the xattr methods. NFSD already was missing some of the
checks and there will be more soon.

(James, I haven't touched selinux yet because it's doing various odd things
and I'm not sure how it would interact with the security attribute fallbacks
you added. Could you investigate whether it could use vfs_getxattr or if not
add a __vfs_getxattr helper to share the bits it is fine with?)
For NFSv4: instead of just converting it add an nfsd_getxattr helper for the
code shared by NFSv2/3 and NFSv4 ACLs. In fact that code isn't even
NFS-specific, but I'll wait for more users to pop up first before moving it to
common code.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
