Even after applying the proposed patch, the code still looks problematic to me. I would prefer to have it explained first. When fgetxattr(..., 0) returns -1/ERANGE, what is the point of calling fgetxattr(..., 0) again? It is still going to busy-loop indefinitely in this case, doesn't it? How many times do we actually need to call fgetxattr() on a single file descriptor? Twice? Then unbounded loop is not the best construction to begin with.
