From: Mark Salyzyn salyzyn@android.com Date: Thu, 29 Aug 2019 11:30:14 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ovl: filter of trusted xattr results in audit
When filtering xattr list for reading, presence of trusted xattr results in a security audit log. However, if there is other content no errno will be set, and if there isn't, the errno will be -ENODATA and not -EPERM as is usually associated with a lack of capability. The check does not block the request to list the xattrs present.
Switch to ns_capable_noaudit to reflect a more appropriate check.
