Ou, it really is not released yet. I was just rebasing my branch on top of the Linus's master branch and somehow I thought that changes which "git rebase" dropped from my branch were already released. So sure, first the change needs to be released and then it could be proposed for backporting. > > It is fixing support for querying special files (fifo/socket/block/char) > > over SMB2+ servers which do not support extended attributes and reparse > > point at the same time on one inode, which applied for older Windows > > servers (pre-Win10). > > > > I think that commit should have line: > > Fixes: ea41367b2a60 ("smb: client: introduce SMB2_OP_QUERY_WSL_EA") > > > > Note that the mention commit depends on: > > ca4b2c460743 ("fs/smb/client: avoid querying SMB2_OP_QUERY_WSL_EA for SMB3 POSIX") > > So what exactly should the series of commits be that we backport and to > what kernel tree(s)? I would propose to backport these two commits (in this order): ca4b2c460743 ("fs/smb/client: avoid querying SMB2_OP_QUERY_WSL_EA for SMB3 POSIX") 3681c74d342d ("smb: client: handle lack of EA support in smb2_query_path_info()") into all stable branches which already contain this commit: ea41367b2a60 ("smb: client: introduce SMB2_OP_QUERY_WSL_EA") Hopefully it is clear now. > thanks, > > greg k-h
