Subject: [PATCH v3 10/16] nfs: Implement fileattr_get for case sensitivity
From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@...cle.com>
An NFS server re-exporting an NFS mount point needs to report the
case sensitivity behavior of the underlying filesystem to its
clients. Without this, re-export servers cannot accurately convey
case handling semantics, potentially causing client applications to
make incorrect assumptions about filename collisions and lookups.
The NFS client already retrieves case sensitivity information from
servers during mount via PATHCONF (NFSv3) or the
FATTR4_CASE_INSENSITIVE/FATTR4_CASE_PRESERVING attributes (NFSv4).
Expose this information through fileattr_get by reporting the
case_insensitive and case_preserving flags in file_kattr. NFSv2
lacks PATHCONF support, so mounts using that protocol version
default to standard POSIX behavior: case-sensitive and case-
preserving.
