Subject: [PATCH RESEND 06/11] cifs: Validate presence of EA $LXMOD for WSL reparse points
Date: Mon,  6 Jul 2026 20:48:14 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260706184819.22124-7-pali@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260706184819.22124-1-pali@kernel.org>

S_DT part of xattr $LXMOD is mandatory for all WSL reparse points except the
WSL symlink and Win32 socket. Microsoft WSL subsystem does not recognize
them without xattr $LXMOD too, and treat such inodes as regular files.

Fixes: ef201e8759d2 ("cifs: Validate EAs for WSL reparse points")
Fixes: 78e26bec4d6d ("smb: client: parse uid, gid, mode and dev from WSL reparse points")
Signed-off-by: Pali Rohár <pali@kernel.org>
