Subject: [PATCH v7.3 4/9] cifs: Validate presence of EA $LXMOD for WSL reparse points
Date: Mon, 26 Oct 2026 23:25:55 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261026222600.17323-5-pali@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261026222600.17323-1-pali@kernel.org>
S_DT part of xattr $LXMOD is mandatory for all WSL reparse points except the
WSL symlink and Win32 socket. Microsoft WSL subsystem does not recognize
them without xattr $LXMOD too, and treat such inodes as regular files.
Fixes: ef201e8759d2 ("cifs: Validate EAs for WSL reparse points")
Fixes: 78e26bec4d6d ("smb: client: parse uid, gid, mode and dev from WSL reparse points")
Signed-off-by: Pali Rohár <pali@kernel.org>
