Report CIFS/SMB case\nhandling behavior via FS_XFLAG_CASEFOLD and\nFS_XFLAG_CASENONPRESERVING.\n\nThe authoritative source is the server itself: at mount time CIFS\nissues QueryFSInfo(FS_ATTRIBUTE_INFORMATION) and caches the reply\non the tcon. That reply carries FILE_CASE_SENSITIVE_SEARCH and\nFILE_CASE_PRESERVED_NAMES, which reflect whatever case handling\nthe share actually implements after SMB3.1.1 POSIX extensions\nnegotiation. Translating those two bits into the VFS flags lets\ncifs_fileattr_get report what the server advertises rather than\nwhat the client was asked to pretend.\n\nQueryFSInfo is best-effort; the mount completes even if the server\ndoes not answer. MaxPathNameComponentLength is zero in that case\nand is used as the \"no reply received\" sentinel. When no reply is\navailable, fall back to the nocase mount option so that the reported\nbehavior agrees with the dentry comparison operations installed on\nthe superblock.\n\nThe callback is registered in all three inode_operations structures\n(directory, file, and symlink) to ensure consistent reporting across\nall inode types.\n\nRegistering fileattr_get routes FS_IOC_GETFLAGS through\nvfs_fileattr_get() and short-circuits the syscall's fallback to\ncifs_ioctl(). That fallback invoked CIFSGetExtAttr() under\nCONFIG_CIFS_POSIX and CONFIG_CIFS_ALLOW_INSECURE_LEGACY on servers\nadvertising CIFS_UNIX_EXTATTR_CAP, surfacing the SMB1 Unix-extension\nimmutable, append, and nodump bits. cifs_fileattr_get carries over\nonly FS_COMPR_FL from cached cifsAttrs; the SMB1 extattr fetch is\nnot reproduced. SMB1 is deprecated, and acquiring a netfid from\nwithin a dentry-only callback is not worth preserving a path tied\nto an insecure legacy dialect.\n\nAcked-by: Steve French \nReviewed-by: Roland Mainz \nSigned-off-by: Chuck Lever \n---\n fs/smb/client/cifsfs.c | 42 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++\n 1 file changed, 42 insertions(+)","diff":"diff --git a/fs/smb/client/cifsfs.c b/fs/smb/client/cifsfs.c\nindex 2025739f070a..d71755b59b5b 100644\n--- a/fs/smb/client/cifsfs.c\n+++ b/fs/smb/client/cifsfs.c\n@@ -30,6 +30,7 @@\n #include \n #include \n #include \n+#include \n #include \n #include \n #include \"cifsfs.h\"\n@@ -1199,6 +1200,44 @@ struct file_system_type smb3_fs_type = {\n MODULE_ALIAS_FS(\"smb3\");\n MODULE_ALIAS(\"smb3\");\n \n+static int cifs_fileattr_get(struct dentry *dentry, struct file_kattr *fa)\n+{\n+\tstruct cifs_sb_info *cifs_sb = CIFS_SB(dentry->d_sb);\n+\tstruct cifs_tcon *tcon = cifs_sb_master_tcon(cifs_sb);\n+\tu32 attrs = le32_to_cpu(tcon->fsAttrInfo.Attributes);\n+\n+\t/* Preserve FS_COMPR_FL previously reported by cifs_ioctl(). */\n+\tif (CIFS_I(d_inode(dentry))->cifsAttrs & ATTR_COMPRESSED)\n+\t\tfa->flags |= FS_COMPR_FL;\n+\n+\t/*\n+\t * The server's FS_ATTRIBUTE_INFORMATION response, cached on\n+\t * the tcon at mount, reflects the share's case-handling\n+\t * semantics after any POSIX extensions negotiation.
