[PATCH 0/2] fs/ntfs3: fixes for directory permission and symlink consistency

From: Zhenyan Wang

Date: Sun Sep 27 2026 - 14:06:54 EST


This patch series fixes two instances of non-compliance with POSIX
specifications.

Patch 1 clears FILE_ATTRIBUTE_READONLY when the argument 'mode' of mkdir
contains write permission.

Patch 2 leaves the symlink target unchanged in PrintName, avoiding
conversion from '\' to '/' in readlink.

The patched code is compiled and tested in qemu. Everything works well.

fs/ntfs3: clear FILE_ATTRIBUTE_READONLY bit when argument 'mode'
contains write permission
fs/ntfs3: keep PrintName not changed when creating symlink
