Subject: [EXTERNAL] [PATCH 5.4 303/309] cifs: fix mode bits from dir listing when mounted with modefromsid

From: Aurelien Aptel <aaptel@xxxxxxxx>

commit e3e056c35108661e418c803adfc054bf683426e7 upstream.

When mounting with -o modefromsid, the mode bits are stored in an ACE. Directory enumeration (e.g. ls -l /mnt) triggers an SMB Query Dir which does not include ACEs in its response. The mode bits in this case are silently set to a default value of 755 instead.

This patch marks the dentry created during the directory enumeration as needing re-evaluation (i.e. additional Query Info with ACEs) so that the mode bits can be properly extracted.

Quick repro:

$ mount.cifs //win19.test/data /mnt -o ...,modefromsid $ touch /mnt/foo && chmod 751 /mnt/foo $ stat /mnt/foo
# reports 751 (OK)
$ sleep 2
# dentry older than 1s by default get invalidated $ ls -l /mnt
# since dentry invalid, ls does a Query Dir
# and reports foo as 755 (WRONG)
