[PATCH v2 0/2] AFS metadata xattr fixes

[David Howells]

Here's a pair of fixes for AFS.

 (1) Fix an oops in AFS that can be triggered by accessing one of the
     afs.yfs.* xattrs against a yfs server[1][2] - for instance by "cp -a"
     or "rsync -X".  These try and copy all of the xattrs.

     They should pay attention to the list in /etc/xattr.conf, but cp
     doesn't on Ubuntu and rsync doesn't seem to on Ubuntu or Fedora.
     xattr.conf has been modified upstream[3], but a new version hasn't
     been cut yet.  I've logged a bug against rsync for the problem
     there[4].

 (2) Stop listing "afs.*" xattrs[6], particularly ACL ones[8].  This
     removes them from the list returned by listxattr(), but they're still
     available to get/set.

The patches can be found here:

Changes:
ver #2:
 - Hide all of the afs.* xattrs, not just the ACL ones[7].
