[PATCH] fs: don't call posix_acl_listxattr in generic_listxattr

From: Jeff Layton
Date: Tue May 16 2023 - 08:47:04 EST


Commit f2620f166e2a caused the kernel to start emitting POSIX ACL xattrs
for NFSv4 inodes, which it doesn't support. The only other user of
generic_listxattr is HFS (classic) and it doesn't support POSIX ACLs
either.

Fixes: f2620f166e2a xattr: simplify listxattr helpers
