This bug should be fixed in Linux kernel 6.16; see: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=fe78e02600f83d81e55f6fc352d82c4f264a2901 For what it's worth, Coreutils decided not to work around the bug, and instead to suggest updating to a fixed kernel or to a future version of libattr with at least the following patches: https://cgit.git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/attr.git/commit/?id=58abfe6eba0d8d58a61ee8bee0615f74d393fff2 https://cgit.git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/attr.git/commit/?id=504ab19d7b032212755ab3c7df16be98d5b5212e
Various gnulib acl tests breaking (on fedora 42 for example) is problematic. For my ref one can work around the issue by pointing TMPDIR away from tmpfs like: TMPDIR=/foo/bar make check I was considering skipping the tests if on tmpfs with kernel 6.1[45], but I suppose it's best for gnulib to continue to flag the problematic file system / kernel version combo. cheers, Padraig.
