Subject: [PATCH v2 5/5] smb: client: fix reparse point file type corruption
Date: Sun, 6 Sep 2026 15:15:40 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260906181540.647469-5-pc@manguebit.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260906181540.647469-1-pc@manguebit.org>
wsl_to_fattr() and posix_reparse_to_fattr() set the file type from
reparse point tags (e.g. fattr->cf_mode |= S_IFCHR). When cf_mode
already has S_IFMT bits set by the caller, this corrupts the file
type.
For example, smb311_posix_info_to_fattr() sets cf_mode via
wire_mode_to_posix() which includes S_IFREG, then calls
cifs_reparse_point_to_fattr(). If the reparse tag indicates a
character device, the result is S_IFREG | S_IFCHR = S_IFLNK,
incorrectly turning the inode into a symlink.
Fix both functions by clearing the S_IFMT bits before the switch
statement, so the reparse point tag can set the correct file type
without interference from previously set bits.
