[PATCH 6/7] cifs: Fix creating of SFU fifo and socket special files

From: Pali Rohár
Date: Thu Sep 12 2024 - 08:07:45 EST


SFU-style fifo is empty file with system attribute set. This format is used
by old Microsoft POSIX subsystem and later also by OpenNT/Interix subsystem
(which replaced Microsoft POSIX subsystem and is part of Microsoft SFU).

SFU-style socket is file which has system attribute set and file content is
one zero byte. This format was introduced in Interix 3.0 subsystem, as part
of the Microsoft SFU 3.0 and is used also by all later versions. Previous
versions had no UNIX domain socket support.

Currently when sfu mount option is specified then CIFS creates fifo and
socket special files with some strange LnxSOCK or LnxFIFO content which is
not compatible with Microsoft SFU and neither recognized by other SMB
implementations which have some SFU support, including older Linux cifs
implementations.

So when sfu mount option is specified, create all fifo and socket special
files compatible with SFU format to achieve SFU interop, as it is expected
by sfu mount option.
