Hello Greg and Sasha, do you have any opinion about this?

Commit 663f295e3559 ("smb: client: fix parsing of device numbers") should have had following Fixes line: Fixes: 45e724022e27 ("smb: client: set correct file type from NFS reparse points") And commit a9de67336a4a ("smb: client: set correct device number on nfs reparse points") should have contained line: Fixes: 102466f303ff ("smb: client: allow creating special files via reparse points") Pali
I'll queue both for 6.11 and 6.6, thanks! -- Thanks, Sasha
