2020-01-16Implement setxattr for overlays.Dean Deng

2020-01-16Plumb getting/setting xattrs through InodeOperations and 9p gofer interfaces.Dean Deng
There was a very bare get/setxattr in the InodeOperations interface. Add context.Context to both, size to getxattr, and flags to setxattr. Note that extended attributes are passed around as strings in this implementation, so size is automatically encoded into the value. Size is added in getxattr so that implementations can return ERANGE if a value is larger than can fit in the user-allocated buffer. This prevents us from unnecessarily passing around an arbitrarily large xattr when the user buffer is actually too small. Don't use the existing xattrwalk and xattrcreate messages and define our own, mainly for the sake of simplicity. Extended attributes will be implemented in future commits.

2019-12-16Implement checks for get/setxattr at the syscall layer.Dean Deng
Add checks for input arguments, file type, permissions, etc. that match the Linux implementation. A call to get/setxattr that passes all the checks will still currently return EOPNOTSUPP. Actual support will be added in following commits. Only allow user.* extended attributes for the time being. PiperOrigin-RevId: 285835159
