I noticed xfstest generic/423 failing to Samba with "sfu" mount option (with "cifs does not support mknod/mkfifo") which turned out to be due to cifs.ko not supporting creating sockets with the "sfu" mount option (it works for fifos, block and char devices but not sockets - unlike with e.g. WSL reparse points) Block devices are mapped using the string "IntxBLK" to identify them, char devices with "IntxCHR" symlinks with "IntxLNK" and FIFOs with "LnxFIFO" but there isn't a mapping for sockets. Any thoughts on adding "LnxSocket" for this special case (creating a unix socket when "sfu" is enabled)? -- Thanks, Steve
