In preparation for removing security_old_inode_init_security(), switch to
security_inode_init_security(). Commit 572302af12 ("reiserfs: Add missing
calls to reiserfs_security_free()") fixed possible memory leaks and another
issue related to adding an xattr at inode creation time.
Define the initxattrs callback reiserfs_initxattrs(), to populate the
name/value/len triple in the reiserfs_security_handle() with the first
xattr provided by LSMs. Make a copy of the xattr value, as
security_inode_init_security() frees it.
After the call to security_inode_init_security(), remove the check for
returning -EOPNOTSUPP, as security_inode_init_security() changes it to
zero.
Multiple xattrs are currently not supported, as the
reiserfs_security_handle structure is exported to user space. As a
consequence, even if EVM is invoked, it will not provide an xattr (if it
is not the first to set it, its xattr will be discarded; if it is the
first, it does not have xattrs to calculate the HMAC on).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
