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()
Doesn't that need to go into a release first?
Ou, it really is not released yet. I was just rebasing my branch on top of the Linus's master branch and somehow I thought that changes which "git rebase" dropped from my branch were already released.
So sure, first the change needs to be released and then it could be proposed for backporting.
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")
So what exactly should the series of commits be that we backport and to what kernel tree(s)?
I would propose to backport these two commits (in this order): ca4b2c460743 ("fs/smb/client: avoid querying SMB2_OP_QUERY_WSL_EA for SMB3 POSIX") 3681c74d342d ("smb: client: handle lack of EA support in smb2_query_path_info()")
into all stable branches which already contain this commit: ea41367b2a60 ("smb: client: introduce SMB2_OP_QUERY_WSL_EA")
Hopefully it is clear now.
Yes, now queued up properly, thanks!
