Subject: [PATCH v3 1/7] smb: client: fix uid/gid override in getattr with posix extensions
Date: Sun,  6 Sep 2026 16:07:57 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260906190803.667489-1-pc@manguebit.org> (raw)

When mounting with 'multiuser,posix' options, cifs_getattr() overrides
the server-provided uid/gid with the current process's fsuid/fsgid.
This is because the condition only checks for unix extensions
(tcon->unix_ext) but not posix extensions (tcon->posix_extensions).

With SMB3 POSIX extensions, the server provides real uid/gid values
just like with unix extensions, so they should be preserved rather
than replaced with the caller's credentials.

Add a tcon->posix_extensions check to the condition so that uid/gid
from the server are properly reported in stat results.
