I can put the patches back into the automated test bucket tomorrow. There was a problem with the last patch of the series breaking, but all the rest looked fine before. I wanted to add onto those the change (and earlier WIP patch of mine) to move the conversion of path separators (depending on dialect) '/' to '\' to later (not in build_path_from_dentry ... but rather later (where it is safer to do the conversion) e.g. when the pathname is translated (usually from UTF8 to UCS2 Unicode). Setting up Samba server is pretty easy for testing - some of the instructions are on the Samba xfstesting wiki page Also interesting that it could even be a bit easier (setting up automated testing on localhost) for some soon by testing to the kernel server (ksmbd) but that is currently in linux-next not mainline (yet) pending working through various code review comments, patches etc. On Thu, Apr 8, 2021 at 8:47 PM Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Could somebody throw the current variant of that branch > (HEAD at 224a69014604) into CIFS testsuite and/or point to > instructions for setting such up? > > Branch lives at > git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs.git #work.cifs > > Al, really wishing he could reproduce the test setup locally ;-/ -- Thanks, Steve
