Subject: [PATCH v8 03/17] fat: Implement fileattr_get for case sensitivity
Date: Tue, 17 Feb 2026 16:47:27 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260217214741.1928576-4-cel@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260217214741.1928576-1-cel@kernel.org>
From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>
Report FAT's case sensitivity behavior via the FS_XFLAG_CASEFOLD
and FS_XFLAG_CASENONPRESERVING flags. FAT filesystems are
case-insensitive by default.
MSDOS supports a 'nocase' mount option that enables case-sensitive
behavior; check this option when reporting case sensitivity.
VFAT long filename entries preserve case; without VFAT, only
uppercased 8.3 short names are stored. MSDOS with 'nocase' also
preserves case since the name-formatting code skips upcasing when
'nocase' is set. Check both options when reporting case preservation.
