[PATCH 4/8] cifs: Fix creating NFS-style char/block devices
Posted by Pali Rohár 2 months ago
Linux SMB client currently creates NFS-style char and block devices with
swapped major and minor numbers.

Per MS-FSCC 2.1.2.6 NFS_SPECFILE_CHR and NFS_SPECFILE_BLK DataBuffer's
field contains two 32-bit integers that represent major and minor device
numbers.

So the first one 32-bit integer in DataBuffer is major number and second
one in DataBuffer is minor number. Microsoft Windows NFS server reads them
in this order too.

But Linux CIFS client creates new reparse point DataBuffer with minor
number first and major number second.

Fix this problem in Linux SMB client and puts major and minor number in
the correct order into DataBuffer.

This change fixes interoperability of char and block devices on Windows
share which is exported over both SMB and NFS protocols.

Fixes: 102466f303ff ("smb: client: allow creating special files via reparse points")

Looks like a duplicate of Paulo's earlier already merged patch, so
will skip this one.  Reviewing the others in the series now.

    smb: client: set correct device number on nfs reparse points

    Fix major and minor numbers set on special files created with NFS
    reparse points.

Ops, sorry for that. I just let my work branch on v6.11-rc7 and here
this change was not yet. But it is funny that we have hit this problem
independently in nearly same time.
