    Smack: remove unneeded NULL-termination from securtity label · da1b6356
    Konstantin Khlebnikov 提交于
    Values of extended attributes are stored as binary blobs. NULL-termination
    of them isn't required. It just wastes disk space and confuses command-line
    tools like getfattr because they have to print that zero byte at the end.
    
    This patch removes terminating zero byte from initial security label in
    smack_inode_init_security and cuts it out in function smack_inode_getsecurity
    which is used by syscall getxattr. This change seems completely safe, because
    function smk_parse_smack ignores everything after first zero byte.
