Subject: [PATCH RESEND 01/11] cifs: Fix and improve cifs_is_path_accessible() function
Date: Mon,  6 Jul 2026 20:48:09 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260706184819.22124-2-pali@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260706184819.22124-1-pali@kernel.org>

Do not call SMBQueryInformation() command for path with SMB wildcard
characters on non-UNICODE connection because server expands wildcards.
Function cifs_is_path_accessible() needs to check if the real path exists
and must not expand wildcard characters.

Do not dynamically allocate memory for small FILE_ALL_INFO structure and
instead allocate it on the stack. This structure is allocated on stack by
all other functions.

When CAP_NT_SMBS was not negotiated then do not issue CIFSSMBQPathInfo()
command. This command returns failure by non-NT Win9x SMB servers, so there
is no need try it. The purpose of cifs_is_path_accessible() function is
just to check if the path is accessible, so SMBQueryInformation() for old
servers is enough.
