From 554677b97257b0b69378bd74e521edb7e94769ff Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miklos Szeredi Date: Thu, 28 Jan 2021 10:22:48 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ovl: perform vfs_getxattr() with mounter creds The vfs_getxattr() in ovl_xattr_set() is used to check whether an xattr exist on a lower layer file that is to be removed. If the xattr does not exist, then no need to copy up the file. This call of vfs_getxattr() wasn't wrapped in credential override, and this is probably okay. But for consitency wrap this instance as well. Reported-by: "Eric W.
