Thanks for reminding me about that. Although that patch helps, I don't
think it's a complete fix. I installed the attached instead; please give
these patches a try. The first one's more important.
It seems odd that we must use mknodat here. Why can't we create the file
using openat with O_CREAT|O_TRUNC|O_EXCL instead? That would be simpler.
Is it some weird limitation of xattr? Perhaps should be a comment if so.
