Modern\nfilesystems like F2FS, exFAT, and CIFS support case-insensitive\ndirectories, but NFSv3 clients cannot discover this capability.\n\nQuery the export's actual case behavior through ->fileattr_get\ninstead. This allows NFSv3 clients to correctly handle case\nsensitivity for any filesystem that implements the fileattr\ninterface. Filesystems without ->fileattr_get continue to report\nthe default POSIX behavior (case-sensitive, case-preserving).\n\nThis change depends on commit (\"fat: Implement fileattr_get for\ncase sensitivity\"), which ensures FAT filesystems report their\ncase behavior correctly via the fileattr interface.\n\nSigned-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>\n---\n fs/nfsd/nfs3proc.c | 18 ++++++++++--------\n fs/nfsd/vfs.c | 29 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++\n fs/nfsd/vfs.h | 3 +++\n 3 files changed, 42 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-)", "diff": "diff --git a/fs/nfsd/nfs3proc.c b/fs/nfsd/nfs3proc.c\nindex 42adc5461db0..7b094c5908f1 100644\n--- a/fs/nfsd/nfs3proc.c\n+++ b/fs/nfsd/nfs3proc.c\n@@ -717,17 +717,19 @@ nfsd3_proc_pathconf(struct svc_rqst *rqstp)\n \n \tif (resp->status == nfs_ok) {\n \t\tstruct super_block *sb = argp->fh.fh_dentry->d_sb;\n+\t\tbool case_insensitive, case_preserving;\n \n-\t\t/* Note that we don't care for remote fs's here */\n-\t\tswitch (sb->s_magic) {\n-\t\tcase EXT2_SUPER_MAGIC:\n+\t\tif (sb->s_magic == EXT2_SUPER_MAGIC) {\n \t\t\tresp->p_link_max = EXT2_LINK_MAX;\n \t\t\tresp->p_name_max = EXT2_NAME_LEN;\n-\t\t\tbreak;\n-\t\tcase MSDOS_SUPER_MAGIC:\n-\t\t\tresp->p_case_insensitive = 1;\n-\t\t\tresp->p_case_preserving = 0;\n-\t\t\tbreak;\n+\t\t}\n+\n+\t\tresp->status = nfsd_get_case_info(argp->fh.fh_dentry,\n+\t\t\t\t\t\t &case_insensitive,\n+\t\t\t\t\t\t &case_preserving);\n+\t\tif (resp->status == nfs_ok) {\n+\t\t\tresp->p_case_insensitive = case_insensitive;\n+\t\t\tresp->p_case_preserving = case_preserving;\n \t\t}\n \t}\n \ndiff --git a/fs/nfsd/vfs.c b/fs/nfsd/vfs.c\nindex eafdf7b7890f..6a7c6a691f2a 100644\n--- a/fs/nfsd/vfs.c\n+++ b/fs/nfsd/vfs.c\n@@ -32,6 +32,7 @@\n #include <linux/writeback.h>\n #include <linux/security.h>\n #include <linux/sunrpc/xdr.h>\n+#include <linux/fileattr.h>\n \n #include \"xdr3.h\"\n \n@@ -2891,3 +2892,31 @@ nfsd_permission(struct svc_cred *cred, struct svc_export *exp,\n \n \treturn err? nfserrno(err) : 0;\n }\n+\n+/**\n+ * nfsd_get_case_info - get case sensitivity info for a dentry\n+ * @dentry: dentry to query\n+ * @case_insensitive: output, true if the filesystem is case-insensitive\n+ * @case_preserving: output, true if the filesystem preserves case\n+ *\n+ * Filesystems without ->fileattr_get report POSIX defaults\n+ * (case-sensitive, case-preserving).
