Subject: [PATCH 1/2] smb: client: refactor ACL setting control flow in id_mode_to_cifs_acl()
Date: Wed, 24 Jun 2026 10:51:23 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260624155124.4121786-1-stfrench@microsoft.com> (raw)

From: Ralph Boehme <slow@samba.org>

Refactor the control flow in id_mode_to_cifs_acl() to reduce nesting and
prevent error code overwriting.

Instead of wrapping the call to ops->set_acl() in a conditional block,
introduce early exits (goto id_mode_to_cifs_acl_exit) when build_sec_desc()
fails or ops->set_acl is NULL. This ensures that any actual error returned
by build_sec_desc() is not overwritten with -EOPNOTSUPP.
