From e26b6d39270f5eab0087453d9b544189a38c8564 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Biggers Date: Mon, 6 Nov 2023 20:44:34 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] f2fs: explicitly null-terminate the xattr list When setting an xattr, explicitly null-terminate the xattr list. This eliminates the fragile assumption that the unused xattr space is always zeroed.
