Subject: [PATCH v7.3 3/9] cifs: Fix validation of EAs for WSL reparse points
Date: Mon, 26 Oct 2026 23:25:54 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261026222600.17323-4-pali@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261026222600.17323-1-pali@kernel.org>

When wsl_to_fattr() is called from readdir() then we should skip validation
of WSL EAs because readdir FIND_FIRST/NEXT results do not provide EA values
at all. For readdir() reply in this case return DT_UNKNOWN type instead of
DT_REG (which is the result of failed WSL EAs validation).

When validation is skipped and some required EAs are missing then returns
true from wsl_to_fattr() function but do not set fattr->cf_mode. This makes
readdir() to return DT_UNKNOWN type in the same way as it is doing NFS
reparse point function.

This change fixes readdir() result that for some WSL reparse points returns
DT_REG due to missing EAs. After this change it returns DT_UNKNOWN, which
is better than returning wrong type.

Fixes: ef201e8759d2 ("cifs: Validate EAs for WSL reparse points")
