Subject: Backport smb client fix for special files
Date: Sun, 26 Jan 2025 16:05:58 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250126150558.qybkjdcx3qbhmgcb@pali> (raw)

Hello,

I would like to propose backporting this commit to stable releases:
https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/3681c74d342db75b0d641ba60de27bf73e16e66b
smb: client: handle lack of EA support in smb2_query_path_info()

It is fixing support for querying special files (fifo/socket/block/char)
over SMB2+ servers which do not support extended attributes and reparse
point at the same time on one inode, which applied for older Windows
servers (pre-Win10).

I think that commit should have line:
Fixes: ea41367b2a60 ("smb: client: introduce SMB2_OP_QUERY_WSL_EA")

Note that the mention commit depends on:
ca4b2c460743 ("fs/smb/client: avoid querying SMB2_OP_QUERY_WSL_EA for SMB3 POSIX")

Pali
