Subject: [PATCH v2 07/10] ntfs: add fileattr query support
Date: Sun, 20 Sep 2026 16:31:28 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260920083131.1880061-8-liubaolin12138@163.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260920083131.1880061-1-liubaolin12138@163.com>
From: Baolin Liu <liubaolin@kylinos.cn>
Add fileattr_get operations for files and directories, as well as the
existing symlink and special inode operation tables. Report compression,
encryption, immutable and append-only from cached inode state, and
FS_CASEFOLD_FL from the mount-wide case sensitivity policy.
This introduces querying only. It neither reads a private flag EA nor
allows userspace to change the reported flags.
