Subject[PATCH 4.4 124/137] ovl: use a minimal buffer in ovl_copy_xattr
Date
4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Vito Caputo <vito.caputo@coreos.com>

commit e4ad29fa0d224d05e08b2858e65f112fd8edd4fe upstream.

Rather than always allocating the high-order XATTR_SIZE_MAX buffer
which is costly and prone to failure, only allocate what is needed and
realloc if necessary.

Fixes https://github.com/coreos/bugs/issues/489
