I think this should return LSM_ATTR_UNDEF instead of literal 0.

Shouldn't this either error or fill in an empty context?

LSM_ATTR_UNDEF again?

Instead of the open-coded addition, since you're dealing with a flexible
array structure:

size_t locallen = ALIGN(struct_size(lctx, ctx, context_size), 8);

Eek, no: there is no "second struct lsm_ctx" -- this may trip memcpy
overflow checks under certain conditions. You're wanting to copy to
the flexible array at the end, so this should be explicitly performed so
the compiler knows what's going on:

memcpy(lctx->ctx, context, context_size);
