[ Upstream commitbcac8bff90] Switch order of operations to avoid creating a short XDR buffer: e.g., buflen = 12, old xdrlen = 12, new xdrlen = 20. Having a short XDR buffer leads to lxa_maxcount be a few bytes less than what is needed to retrieve the whole list when using a buflen as returned by a call with size = 0: buflen = listxattr(path, NULL, 0); buf = malloc(buflen); buflen = listxattr(path, buf, buflen); For a file with one attribute (name = '123456'), the first call with size = 0 will return buflen = 12 ('user.123456\x00'). The second call with size = 12, sends LISTXATTRS with lxa_maxcount = 12 + 8 (cookie) + 4 (array count) = 24. The XDR buffer needs 8 (cookie) + 4 (array count) + 4 (name count) + 6 (name len) + 2 (padding) + 4 (eof) = 28 which is 4 bytes shorter than the lxa_maxcount provided in the call.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
