From d9a738597faf7cd2edeec82ce8fd81969fed8390 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jim Garlick Date: Wed, 29 May 2013 12:09:39 -0700 Subject: fs/9p: xattr: add trusted and security namespaces Allow requests for security.* and trusted.* xattr name spaces to pass through to server. The new files are 99% cut and paste from fs/9p/xattr_user.c with the namespaces changed. It has the intended effect in superficial testing. I do not know much detail about how these namespaces are used, but passing them through to the server, which can decide whether to handle them or not, seems reasonable. I want to support a use case where an ext4 file system is mounted via 9P, then re-exported via samba to windows clients in a cluster. Windows wants to store xattrs such as security.NTACL. This works when ext4 directly backs samba, but not when 9P is inserted.
