Bug 701338 – sys-kernel/linux-headers misses a gentoo-sources patch for xattr.h

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description Ulenrich 2019-11-27 15:33:30 UTC]

When installing any ebuild of sys-kernel/linux-headers
I do this diff:
---diff /usr/include/linux/xattr.h /usr/src/linux/include/uapi/linux/xattr.h 
14,15c14,15
< #ifndef _LINUX_XATTR_H
< #define _LINUX_XATTR_H
---
> #ifndef _UAPI_LINUX_XATTR_H
> #define _UAPI_LINUX_XATTR_H
79a80,83
> /* User namespace */
> #define XATTR_PAX_PREFIX XATTR_USER_PREFIX "pax."
> #define XATTR_PAX_FLAGS_SUFFIX "flags"
> #define XATTR_NAME_PAX_FLAGS XATTR_PAX_PREFIX XATTR_PAX_FLAGS_SUFFIX
81c85
< #endif /* _LINUX_XATTR_H */
---
> #endif /* _UAPI_LINUX_XATTR_H */
--- end diff

When I emerge sys-kernel/linux-headers with an sys-kernel/gentoo-sources
patch, which changes include/uapi/linux/xattr.h
1500_XATTR_USER_PREFIX.patch
And now I diff
---# diff /usr/include/linux/xattr.h /usr/src/linux/include/uapi/linux/xattr.h 
14,15c14,15
< #ifndef _LINUX_XATTR_H
< #define _LINUX_XATTR_H
---
> #ifndef _UAPI_LINUX_XATTR_H
> #define _UAPI_LINUX_XATTR_H
85c85
< #endif /* _LINUX_XATTR_H */
---
> #endif /* _UAPI_LINUX_XATTR_H */
--- end diff

I get much less from this diff. My question:
Is something lost with the sys-kernel/linux-headers from gentoo-sources patches?
Is it intended?


Reproducible: Always

I got the attention of this, because I remember there were some difficulties with newer versions of 
sys-apps/attr
