Subject: [PATCH v2 7/8] smb: client: block cache=ro and cache=singleclient on remount
Date: Thu, 7 May 2026 13:44:47 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260507134448.168602-8-rajasimandalos@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260507134448.168602-1-rajasimandalos@gmail.com>
From: Rajasi Mandal <rajasimandal@microsoft.com>
cache=ro and cache=singleclient are mount-time environment declarations
where the admin promises that the share is read-only or exclusively
accessed. The client bypasses server-based coherency (oplocks/leases)
and caches aggressively based on this promise.
These modes were intentionally excluded from smb3_update_mnt_flags()
when it was introduced in commit 2d39f50c2b15 ("cifs: move update of
flags into a separate function") — only cache=strict, cache=none and
cache=loose were made reconfigurable. However, remount currently
silently accepts cache=ro and cache=singleclient without actually
applying them, which is confusing.
Add explicit checks in smb3_verify_reconfigure_ctx() to reject
attempts to change these options during remount with a clear error
message.
