Subject[PATCH 4.2.y-ckt 002/268] ovl: allow zero size xattr
Date
4.2.8-ckt3 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

commit 97daf8b97ad6f913a34c82515be64dc9ac08d63e upstream.

When ovl_copy_xattr() encountered a zero size xattr no more xattrs were
copied and the function returned success. This is clearly not the desired
behavior.
