[PATCH 3.13 130/151] xattr: guard against simultaneous glibc header inclusion

From: Kamal Mostafa
Date: Fri May 02 2014 - 11:54:34 EST


3.13.11.1 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Serge Hallyn <serge.hallyn@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit ea1a8217b06b41b31a2b60b0b83f75c77ef9c873 upstream.

If the glibc xattr.h header is included after the uapi header,
compilation fails due to an enum re-using a #define from the uapi
header.

Protect against this by guarding the define and enum inclusions against
each other.

(See https://lists.debian.org/debian-glibc/2014/03/msg00029.html
and https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Synchronizing_Headers
for more information.)
