Subject: ceph: don't null-terminate xattr values
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b829c1954dbeb42a1277a8cb05943050ee70be94;p=linux-beck.git

ceph: don't null-terminate xattr values

For some reason, ceph_setxattr() allocates an extra byte in which a
'\0' is stored past the end of an extended attribute value.  This is
not needed, and is potentially misleading, so get rid of it.
