I will double check, my tree is based off linux-rc2, may be I messed up 
things.

the above condition you referred to implies that caller passed in buffer 
that was too short, in that case we don't need to copy the data. Typical 
usage would be caller call listxattr with null and list size of zero, we 
return size of the buffer etc.

man listxattr
ssize_t listxattr (const char *path, char *list, size_t size);

        An empty buffer of size zero can be passed into these calls to 
return the current size of the list  of  extende attribute names, which 
can be used to estimate the size of a buffer which is sufficiently large 
to hold the list of names.

so the above code should be okay?

  I will modify that.
