Subject: [PATCH v1 3/5] ntfs: initialize packed EA size when creating hard links
Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2026 17:35:13 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261027093515.344799-4-liubaolin12138@163.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261027093515.344799-1-liubaolin12138@163.com>
From: Xuewen Wang <wangxuewen@kylinos.cn>
A new hard link has a zero packed EA size in its FILE_NAME even when
the source file already has extended attributes.
For files with EAs and no reparse point, read EA_INFORMATION and check
its attribute length before adding the name. Copy its ea_length into
the new FILE_NAME's packed_ea_size. Skip this assignment for reparse
points, where the same storage holds the reparse-point tag.

Tested with the complete five-patch series in QEMU. Published an
O_TMPFILE after inheriting an access ACL and setting a 12000-byte EA.
Offline ntfsinfo inspection confirms that the FILE_NAME attribute in
the file's MFT record has the same packed EA length as EA_INFORMATION
(12134 bytes). The 12000-byte EA contents also match after cache eviction,
remount and a fresh boot.
