The boundary test for the fixed-offset parts of xfs_attr_sf_entry in
xfs_attr_shortform_verify is off by one, because the variable array
at the end is defined as nameval[1] not nameval[].
Hence we need to subtract 1 from the calculation.

This can be shown by:

# touch file
# setfattr -n root.a file

and verifications will fail when it's written to disk.

This only matters for a last attribute which has a single-byte name
and no value, otherwise the combination of namelen & valuelen will
push endp further out and this test won't fail.

Fixes: 1e1bbd8e7ee06 ("xfs: create structure verifier function for shortform xattrs")

V2: Add whitespace and comments, tweak commit log.

Note: as Darrick points out, this should be made consistent w/ the dir2 arrays
by making the nameval variable size array [] not [1], and then we can lose all
the -1 magic sprinkled around.  At that time we should probably also make the
macros into proper functions, as was done for dir2.

For now, this is just the least invasive fixup for the problem at hand.

Looks ok.

From whom should I be expecting a test case?

Looks good,

Can you follow up with the struct definition fix ASAP?

Hi,

I took the task, I hope it will be done soon - I'll do my best.
