Posted by Pali Rohár 1 month, 2 weeks ago

This patch series improves choosing reparse format when creating new
special files.

Changes since v1:
* Instead of new -o reparse= mount option is now a new -o symlink= mount
  option for choosing symlink type during creation, and new option
  -o nonativesocket for choosing socket type

Pali Rohár (7):
  cifs: Add mount option -o symlink= for choosing symlink create type
  cifs: Add mount option -o reparse=none
  cifs: Add support for creating native Windows sockets
  cifs: Add support for creating NFS-style symlinks
  cifs: Improve guard for excluding $LXDEV xattr
  cifs: Add support for creating WSL-style symlinks
  cifs: Validate content of WSL reparse point buffers
