Subject: [PATCH 4/9] cifs: Validate presence of EA $LXMOD for WSL reparse points
Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2026 01:06:17 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260825230622.24617-5-pali@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260825230622.24617-1-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")
