Subject: [PATCH 5.15.y] nfsd: check nfsd4_acl_to_attr() return value in nfsd4_create()
Date: Sat,  5 Sep 2026 09:39:28 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260905133928.68421-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026090357-subsonic-bronco-a251@gregkh>

From: Jeff Layton <jlayton@kernel.org>

[ Upstream commit 2c7912732184773dbd371a411da87af1cc080b86 ]

nfsd4_create() stores the return value of nfsd4_acl_to_attr() in
status, but the switch(create->cr_type) block unconditionally
overwrites it in every branch. ACL translation errors are silently
discarded, and the CREATE proceeds without the requested ACL.

Add an early exit check after nfsd4_acl_to_attr(), matching the
pattern already used in nfsd4_setattr().

Fixes: c0cbe70742f4 ("NFSD: add posix ACLs to struct nfsd_attrs")
