It's fixing the bug in the wrong place, i.e. it's checking for an
-ENOSYS return from vfs_fileattr_get(), but that return value is not
valid at that point.
The right way to fix this bug is to prevent -ENOSYS from being
returned in the first place.
Commit 02c0cab8e734 ("fuse: ioctl: translate ENOSYS") fixes one of
those bugs, but of course it's possible that I missed something in
that fix.
Can you please first verify that an upstream kernel (>v6.0) can also
reproduce this issue?
Thanks,
Miklos
