Subject: [PATCH 10/14] xattr,net: support limited amount of extended attributes on sockfs sockets
Date: Mon, 16 Feb 2026 14:32:06 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260216-work-xattr-socket-v1-10-c2efa4f74cb7@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260216-work-xattr-socket-v1-0-c2efa4f74cb7@kernel.org>

Now that we've generalized the infrastructure for user.* xattrs make it
possible to set up to 128 user.* extended attributes on a sockfs inode
or up to 128kib. kernfs (cgroupfs) has the same limits and it has proven
to be quite sufficient for nearly all use-cases.

This will allow containers to label sockets and will e.g., be used by
systemd and Gnome to find various sockets in containers where
high-privilege or more complicated solutions aren't available.
