    xfs: set XFS_DA_OP_OKNOENT in xfs_attr_get · c400ee3e

    It's entirely possible for userspace to ask for an xattr which
    does not exist.
    
    Normally, there is no problem whatsoever when we ask for such
    a thing, but when we look at an obfuscated metadump image
    on a debug kernel with selinux, we trip over this ASSERT in
    xfs_da3_path_shift():
    
            *result = -ENOENT;      /* we're out of our tree */
            ASSERT(args->op_flags & XFS_DA_OP_OKNOENT);
    
    It (more or less) only shows up in the above scenario, because
    xfs_metadump obfuscates attr names, but chooses names which
    keep the same hash value - and xfs_da3_node_lookup_int does:
    
            if (((retval == -ENOENT) || (retval == -ENOATTR)) &&
                (blk->hashval == args->hashval)) {
                    error = xfs_da3_path_shift(state, &state->path, 1, 1,
                                                     &retval);
    
    IOWS, we only get down to the xfs_da3_path_shift() ASSERT
    if we are looking for an xattr which doesn't exist, but we
    find xattrs on disk which have the same hash, and so might be
    a hash collision, so we try the path shift.  When *that*
    fails to find what we're looking for, we hit the assert about
    XFS_DA_OP_OKNOENT.
    
    Simply setting XFS_DA_OP_OKNOENT in xfs_attr_get solves this
    rather corner-case problem with no ill side effects.  It's
    fine for an attr name lookup to fail.
