Subject: [PATCH v2 4/6] ext4: Report case sensitivity in fileattr_get
Date: Thu, 11 Dec 2025 10:21:14 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251211152116.480799-5-cel@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251211152116.480799-1-cel@kernel.org>
From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>
Report ext4's case sensitivity behavior via file_kattr.case_info.
ext4 always preserves case at rest.
Case sensitivity is a per-directory setting in ext4. If the queried
inode is a casefolded directory, report Unicode case-insensitive
matching; otherwise report case-sensitive (standard POSIX behavior).
This enables file_getattr to report the case sensitivity behavior of
individual directories within an ext4 filesystem.
