Frank van der Linden 04a5da690e NFSv4.2: define limits and sizes for user xattr handling
Set limits for extended attributes (attribute value size and listxattr
buffer size), based on the fs-independent limits (XATTR_*_MAX).

Define the maximum XDR sizes for the RFC 8276 XATTR operations.
In the case of operations that carry a larger payload (SETXATTR,
GETXATTR, LISTXATTR), these exclude that payload, which is added
as separate pages, like other operations do.

Define, much like for read and write operations, the maximum overhead
sizes for get/set/listxattr, and use them to limit the maximum payload
size for those operations, in combination with the channel attributes.

README

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.
