9p: xattr simplifications

2015-11-14T01:34:33+00:00

Now that the xattr handler is passed to the xattr handler operations, we can use the same get and set operations for the user, trusted, and security xattr namespaces. In those namespaces, we can access the full attribute name by "reattaching" the name prefix the vfs has skipped for us. Add a xattr_full_name helper to make this obvious in the code. For the "system.posix_acl_access" and "system.posix_acl_default" attributes, handler->prefix is the full attribute name; the suffix is the empty string.

xattr handlers: Pass handler to operations instead of flags

2015-11-14T01:34:32+00:00

The xattr_handler operations are currently all passed a file system specific flags value which the operations can use to disambiguate between different handlers; some file systems use that to distinguish the xattr namespace, for example. In some oprations, it would be useful to also have access to the handler prefix. To allow that, pass a pointer to the handler to operations instead of the flags value alone.
