For the reasons discussed at <http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg109982.html>, this simplistic implementation of user xattrs can't simply be made available to everyone. We want user xattrs on tmpfs to support flatpak running as an unprivileged user on overlayfs whose upper fs is tmpfs, a situation which only arises in our pristine image boots. So, for our purposes, a mount flag is okay: we can set it at the same time as setting up the overlays. https://phabricator.endlessm.com/T13817 Signed-off-by: Will Thompson <wjt@endlessm.com>

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1801986 commit c829198 upstream. Length of WMI scan message was not calculated correctly. The allocated buffer was smaller than what we expected. So WMI message corrupted skb_info, which is at the end of skb->data. This fix takes TLV header into account even if the element is zero-length.
