[PATCH v2 5/7] cifs: Improve guard for excluding $LXDEV xattr
From: Pali Rohár
Date: Sat Oct 12 2024 - 04:56:34 EST
$LXDEV xattr is for storing block/char device's major and minor number.
Change guard which excludes storing $LXDEV xattr to explicitly filter
everything except block and char device. Current guard is opposite, which
is currently correct but is less-safe. This change is required for adding
support for creating WSL-style symlinks as symlinks also do not use
device's major and minor numbers.
