From 1601fbad2b14e0b8d4dbb55e749bfe31e972818a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mimi Zohar Date: Wed, 9 Mar 2011 14:23:34 -0500 Subject: xattr: define vfs_getxattr_alloc and vfs_xattr_cmp vfs_getxattr_alloc() and vfs_xattr_cmp() are two new kernel xattr helper functions. vfs_getxattr_alloc() first allocates memory for the requested xattr and then retrieves it. vfs_xattr_cmp() compares a given value with the contents of an extended attribute.
