Currently, when setting file attributes via FSCTL_SET_SPARSE,
FSCTL_SET_COMPRESSION or FileBasicInformation, ksmbd hardcodes
flags = 0x51 (XATTR_DOSINFO_ATTRIB | XATTR_DOSINFO_CREATE_TIME |
XATTR_DOSINFO_ITIME). This injects unrequested creation time and itime
into user.DOSATTRIB on disk, even though the client only requested an
attribute modification.
Furthermore, ndr_decode_dos_attr() discards the validity flags on read
by reading them into NULL. When reading a file with an attribute-only
xattr (flags = 0x01, where create_time on disk is 0), ksmbd treats the 0
as a valid timestamp and reports NTTIME(0) instead of falling back to
the underlying filesystem's btime. Modifying any attribute via
set_file_basic_info() then clobbers the xattr back to 0x51.
Fix this by:
1. decoding da->flags in ndr_decode_dos_attr() and only updating
create_time and itime if their validity flags are set (in
smb2_update_xattrs() and ksmbd_vfs_fill_dentry_attrs());
2. reading existing attributes and only setting XATTR_DOSINFO_ATTRIB in
fsctl_set_sparse(), __ksmbd_vfs_set_compression(), and
set_file_basic_info() so unrequested timestamps are not injected.
Reproducer, with /tmp as the local filesystem folder exported as [test]
in ksmbd.conf and /mnt as the smb folder mounted with mount -t cifs:
mount -t cifs //127.0.0.1/test /mnt -o username=user,password=pass
test with sparse (for compression, use chattr +c instead of fallocate):
echo data > /tmp/sparse.txt
chmod 777 /tmp/sparse.txt
stat -c 'Local btime (%n): %w' /tmp/sparse.txt
getfattr -n user.DOSATTRIB -e hex /tmp/sparse.txt
# punching hole via CIFS triggers FSCTL_SET_SPARSE
fallocate -p -o 0 -l 4 /mnt/sparse.txt
getfattr -n user.DOSATTRIB -e hex /tmp/sparse.txt
stat -c 'CIFS btime (%n): %w' /mnt/sparse.txt
smbclient //127.0.0.1/test -U user%pass -c 'allinfo sparse.txt'
# evict cache so btime is read fresh again
umount /mnt
mount -t cifs //127.0.0.1/test /mnt -o username=user,password=pass
stat -c 'CIFS btime (%n): %w' /mnt/sparse.txt
which prints:

This should be (hopefully) the last of the fixes needed to implement ptime[1].
Thanks for testing all of them and merging them <3
Best,
