--- Comment #8 from commit-h...@freebsd.org --- A commit references this bug: Author: cem Date: Wed Jan 18 17:55:49 UTC 2017 New revision: 312391 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/312391 Log: ufs/extattr.h: Fix documentation of ea_name termination The ea_name string is not nul-terminated. Correct the documentation. Because the subsequent field is padded to 8 bytes, and the padding is zeroed, the ea_name string will appear to be nul-terminated whenever the length isn't exactly one (mod eight). This was introduced in r167010 (2007). Additionally, mark the length fields as unsigned. This particularly matters for the single byte ea_namelength field, which can represent extended attribute names up to 255 bytes long. No functional change.
