Subject: [PATCH 2/2] smb: client: fix WSL reparse point uid/gid override
Date: Sun,  6 Sep 2026 14:20:05 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260906172005.627163-2-pc@manguebit.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260906172005.627163-1-pc@manguebit.org>

wsl_to_fattr() unconditionally overwrites cf_uid/cf_gid with values
from WSL extended attributes ($LXUID/$LXGID), ignoring the
administrator's forceuid/forcegid mount options.  It also doesn't
initialize the uid/gid defaults, so callers that invoke it before
setting cf_uid/cf_gid (e.g. smb311_posix_info_to_fattr()) would
leave zeroed values when forceuid/forcegid is set.

Additionally, when UNIX or SMB3 POSIX extensions are negotiated, the
server already provides authoritative uid/gid and mode values through
the extensions themselves, making the WSL reparse point EA values
($LXUID, $LXGID, $LXMOD) redundant and potentially conflicting.

Fix this by:
  - Initializing cf_uid/cf_gid to the mount-specified linux_uid/
    linux_gid defaults
  - Gating the $LXUID/$LXGID EA parsing on CIFS_MOUNT_OVERR_UID/
    CIFS_MOUNT_OVERR_GID
  - Skipping $LXUID, $LXGID, and $LXMOD EA parsing entirely when
    UNIX or POSIX extensions are active (only $LXDEV is still
    parsed for device major/minor numbers)
