Subject: listxattr: document Linux 6.14- bug
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d02604fdafd4a55122913bdafc90b44cd785fc15;p=thirdparty%2Fgnulib.git

listxattr: document Linux 6.14- bug

This bug is fixed in Linux kernel 6.15; see:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=8b0ba61d
For what it's worth, Coreutils decided not to work around the bug,
and instead to suggest updating to a fixed kernel.
