[PATCH] nfs: Fix listxattr regression

From: Andreas Gruenbacher
Date: Fri Dec 11 2015 - 07:15:54 EST


Al,

the xattr cleanup patches which are meanwhile in your for-next branch broke
listxattr on nfs. Could you please add this fix?

Thanks,
Andreas

In removing the list operation of nfs4_xattr_nfs4_label_handler, commit
d77ae742 has introduced a NULL pointer dereference in generic_listxattr.
Fix by checking for NULL list operations. In addition, skip prefix (as
opposed to full-name) xattr handlers there: listing a prefix is not
meaningful.
