Subject: [PATCH 5.15.y 3/4] smb/client: fix security flag calculation when setting security descriptors
Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2026 10:02:10 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260917140211.506490-3-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260917140211.506490-1-sashal@kernel.org>

From: Ralph Boehme <slow@samba.org>

[ Upstream commit 4939889c985da68936090cc013e58c28b7bff34f ]

In id_mode_to_cifs_acl(), aclflag was initialized to CIFS_ACL_DACL by default.
This forced the client to request setting the DACL even when only an ownership
(chown) or group (chgrp) change was being performed.

Let build_sec_desc() do the proper flag calculation by initializing aclflag
to 0. build_sec_desc() sets the appropriate bits (CIFS_ACL_OWNER, CIFS_ACL_GROUP,
or CIFS_ACL_DACL) depending on what actually changed. During ownership transfer,
CIFS_ACL_DACL is only set if replace_sids_and_copy_aces() actually replaces the
SIDs inside any of the DACL's ACEs.

If build_sec_desc() results in aclflag being 0 (meaning no changes were mapped),
exit early to avoid sending an empty security descriptor update to the server.
