[PATCH 2/2] lsm: fix size queries for getselfattr with NULL buffer

Fri Jun 19 13:03:04 UTC 2026
The lsm_get_self_attr() syscall allows callers to pass in a NULL context
buffer to find out the size of the output needed. That path still
compared the computed entry size against the caller provided size first,
so a NULL buffer with size 0 incorrectly returned -E2BIG rather than
reporting the required size.
Only enforce the available buffer length after checking for the NULL
buffer. Cover the zero length sizing query in the self test.
Fixes: d7cf3412a9f6 ("lsm: consolidate buffer size handling into lsm_fill_user_ctx()")
