Subject: [PATCH 2/2] cifs: Create native Window socket file compatible also with WSL subsystem
Date: Sat, 12 Jul 2025 18:10:12 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250712161012.17622-2-pali@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250712161012.17622-1-pali@kernel.org>
After creating a native socket via the IO_REPARSE_TAG_AF_UNIX reparse
point, try to set also the WSL EA $LXMOD.
This makes the native Win32 / NT socket file recognized also under
WSL subsystem. WSL subsystem uses same reparse point tag but requires also
to be EA $LXMOD set.
Fixes: 45a99d5d1173 ("cifs: Add support for creating native Windows sockets")
