Subject: [PATCH] vboxsf: explicitly deny setlease attempts
Date: Tue, 19 Mar 2024 12:32:04 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240319-setlease-v1-1-5997d67e04b3@kernel.org> (raw)

vboxsf does not break leases on its own, so it can't properly handle the
case where the hypervisor changes the data. Don't allow file leases on
vboxsf.

Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@kernel.org>

Looking over the comments in the code around cache coherency, it seems
like it ought to deny file locks as well? We could add a stub ->lock
routine that just returns -ENOLCK or something.
