[PATCH v2 0/2] ksmbd: exclude metadata-only opens from sharing checks

[Ian Bridges]

ksmbd includes opens that hold no data, execute or delete access in
sharing checks. Such a metadata-only open without sharing can block
later reads, writes and deletes. A metadata-only stream open can also
block deleting the file.

Patch 1 fixes the general sharing check. Patch 2 fixes the stream delete
check added in v7.2. They are separate so patch 1 can be backported
without the stream helper. Patch 2 uses the helper patch 1 adds.

This series was developed with LLM assistance.

Changes in v2:
- Use disposition-implied access in both sharing checks. This covers
  Namjae's READ_CONTROL plus FILE_OVERWRITE case and named streams.
- Keep the requested access on the returned handle.
- Leave the attribute-only pairing rule and Time Machine AFP_AfpInfo
  synthesis unchanged.
- Treat FILE_SUPERSEDE as writing because ksmbd implements it by
  truncating, although MS-FSA grants DELETE.

This differs from my reply to v1, which proposed changing only the
truncate path and leaving patch 2 unchanged.

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-cifs/20261104183702.192452-1-icb@xxxxxxxxxxxx/
