    ceph: don't NULL terminate virtual xattrs · 26350535

    The convention with xattrs is to not store the termination with string
    data, given that it returns the length. This is how setfattr/getfattr
    operate.
    
    Most of ceph's virtual xattr routines use snprintf to plop the string
    directly into the destination buffer, but snprintf always NULL
    terminates the string. This means that if we send the kernel a buffer
    that is the exact length needed to hold the string, it'll end up
    truncated.
    
    Add a ceph_fmt_xattr helper function to format the string into an
    on-stack buffer that should always be large enough to hold the whole
    thing and then memcpy the result into the destination buffer. If it does
    turn out that the formatted string won't fit in the on-stack buffer,
    then return -E2BIG and do a WARN_ONCE().
    
    Change over most of the virtual xattr routines to use the new helper. A
    couple of the xattrs are sourced from strings however, and it's
    difficult to know how long they'll be. Just have those memcpy the result
    in place after verifying the length.
