[PATCH bpf-next 1/2] fs/xattr: bpf: Introduce security.bpf xattr name prefix

From: Song Liu
Date: Wed Oct 02 2024 - 17:47:47 EST


Introduct new xattr name prefix security.bpf, and enable reading these
xattrs from bpf kfuncs bpf_get_[file|dentry]_xattr(). Note that
"security.bpf" could be the name of the xattr or the prefix of the
name. For example, both "security.bpf" and "security.bpf.xxx" are
valid xattr name; while "security.bpfxxx" is not valid.
