From 5d18cbf16cfb0ad65368fe2ead19237305f4b822 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andreas Gruenbacher Date: Thu, 29 Sep 2016 17:48:30 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] xattr: Remove unnecessary NULL attribute name check When NULL is passed to one of the xattr system calls as the attribute name, copying that name from user space already fails with -EFAULT; xattr_resolve_name is never called with a NULL attribute name.
