Subject: [PATCH 18/35] cifs: Do not set NumberOfLinks to 1 from open or query calls
Date: Sun, 31 Aug 2025 14:35:45 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250831123602.14037-19-pali@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250831123602.14037-1-pali@kernel.org>
Current code already interprets zero value as unknown number of links and
sets the CIFS_FATTR_UNKNOWN_NLINK flag to handle this situation.
Setting NumberOfLinks to 1 prevents the CIFS_FATTR_UNKNOWN_NLINK indicator.
So set the NumberOfLinks to 0 when it is unknown.
