Subject: [PATCH RESEND 04/11] cifs: Remove cifs_backup_query_path_info() and replace it by cifs_query_path_info()
Date: Mon,  6 Jul 2026 20:48:12 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260706184819.22124-5-pali@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260706184819.22124-1-pali@kernel.org>

Response handling of cifs_backup_query_path_info() function in
cifs_get_fattr() is broken and can cause buffer overflows because
cifs_backup_query_path_info() prepares request with different info levels
but the response parser in cifs_get_fattr() always expects response
structure FILE_DIRECTORY_INFO.

Code which queries file/dir attributes via CIFSFindFirst() is already
implemented in cifs_query_path_info() function, so extend it for
backup_cred(), which is the only missing functionality compared to
cifs_backup_query_path_info().

With this change the cifs_query_path_info() would do everything which is
open-coded in cifs_set_fattr_ino() and cifs_backup_query_path_info()
functions for SMB1. So remove that SMB1 code from cifs_set_fattr_ino() and
also remove whole cifs_backup_query_path_info() function.
