Subject: [PATCH v5 01/16] fs: Add case sensitivity info to file_kattr
Date: Fri, 16 Jan 2026 09:46:00 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260116144616.2098618-2-cel@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260116144616.2098618-1-cel@kernel.org>

From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>

Enable upper layers such as NFSD to retrieve case sensitivity
information from file systems by adding case_insensitive and
case_nonpreserving boolean fields to struct file_kattr.

The case_insensitive and case_nonpreserving fields in struct
file_kattr default to false (POSIX semantics: case-sensitive and
case-preserving), allowing filesystems to set them only when
behavior differs from the default.

Case sensitivity information is exported to userspace via the
existing fa_xflags field using the new FS_XFLAG_CASEFOLD and
FS_XFLAG_CASENONPRESERVING flags.
