Subject: [PATCH v3 02/16] fat: Implement fileattr_get for case sensitivity
Date: Mon, 12 Jan 2026 12:46:15 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260112174629.3729358-3-cel@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260112174629.3729358-1-cel@kernel.org>

From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>

Report FAT's case sensitivity behavior via the file_kattr boolean
fields. FAT filesystems are case-insensitive by default and do not
preserve case at rest (stored names are uppercased).

MSDOS supports a 'nocase' mount option that enables case-sensitive
behavior; check this option when reporting case sensitivity.
