On Mac OS X, HFS+ extended attributes are not namespaced. Since we want to be compatible with OS X filesystems and yet still support the Linux namespacing system, the hfsplus driver implements a special "osx" namespace that is reported for any attribute that is not namespaced on-disk. However, the current code for getting and setting these unprefixed attributes is broken. hfsplus_osx_setattr() and hfsplus_osx_getattr() are passed names that have already had their "osx." prefixes stripped by the generic functions. The functions first, quite correctly, check those names to make sure that they aren't prefixed with a known namespace, which would allow namespace access restrictions to be bypassed. However, the functions then prepend "osx." to the name they're given before passing it on to hfsplus_getattr() and hfsplus_setattr(). Not only does this cause the "osx." prefix to be stored on-disk, defeating its purpose, it also breaks the check for the special "com.apple.FinderInfo" attribute, which is reported for all files, and as a consequence makes some userspace applications (e.g. GNU patch) fail even when extended attributes are not otherwise in use.
