From 03b5bb342978f99f75fb36d69cd29bab32109fd4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wang Sheng-Hui Date: Fri, 22 Jul 2011 08:50:13 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] ext2: check xattr name_len before acquiring xattr_sem in ext2_xattr_get In ext2_xattr_get(), the code will acquire xattr_sem first, later checks the length of xattr name_len > 255. It's unnecessarily time consuming and also ext2_xattr_set() checks the length before other checks. So move the check before acquiring xattr_sem to make these two functions consistent.
