I looked at that code and it looks to be really more complicated to implement partial parsing of the reply, as compound code is bound to many places and code paths. Meanwhile I have tried to implement a new version to retry the call without querying EAs when server returns that EAs on specific paths are unsupported: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/cifs-client/patch/20241224131859.3457-1-pali@xxxxxxxxxx/ I think that this approach should now work correctly.
