This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled cifs: open_cached_dir(): add FILE_READ_EA to desired access to the 6.8-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: cifs-open_cached_dir-add-file_read_ea-to-desired-acc.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.8 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 11a84a2e5a18809e5ec448c19fe18c01bf4cc27d Author: Eugene Korenevsky <ekorenevsky@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Mar 1 17:53:44 2024 +0300 cifs: open_cached_dir(): add FILE_READ_EA to desired access [ Upstream commit f1b8224b4e6ed59e7e6f5c548673c67410098d8d ] Since smb2_query_eas() reads EA and uses cached directory, open_cached_dir() should request FILE_READ_EA access. Otherwise listxattr() and getxattr() will fail with EACCES (0xc0000022 STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED SMB status).
