commit d82dcd9e21b77d338dc4875f3d4111f0db314a7c upstream. Reiserfs sets a security xattr at inode creation time in two stages: first, it calls reiserfs_security_init() to obtain the xattr from active LSMs; then, it calls reiserfs_security_write() to actually write that xattr. Unfortunately, it seems there is a wrong expectation that LSMs provide the full xattr name in the form 'security.<suffix>'. However, LSMs always provided just the suffix, causing reiserfs to not write the xattr at all (if the suffix is shorter than the prefix), or to write an xattr with the wrong name. Add a temporary buffer in reiserfs_security_write(), and write to it the full xattr name, before passing it to reiserfs_xattr_set_handle(). Also replace the name length check with a check that the full xattr name is not larger than XATTR_NAME_MAX.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
