The NFS protocol includes attributes when creating symlinks. Linux does store attributes for symlinks and allows them to be set, though they are not used for permission checking. NFSD currently doesn't set standard (struct iattr) attributes when creating symlinks, but for NFSv4 it does set ACLs and security labels. This is inconsistent. To improve consistency, pass the provided attributes into nfsd_symlink() and call nfsd_create_setattr() to set them. NOTE: this results in a behaviour change for all NFS versions when the client sends non-default attributes with a SYMLINK request. With the Linux client, the only attributes are: attr.ia_mode = S_IFLNK | S_IRWXUGO; attr.ia_valid = ATTR_MODE; so the final outcome will be unchanged. Other clients might sent different attributes, and if they did they probably expect them to be honoured. We ignore any error from nfsd_create_setattr(). It isn't really clear what should be done if a file is successfully created, but the attributes cannot be set. NFS doesn't allow partial success to be reported. Reporting failure is probably more misleading than reporting success, so the status is ignored. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com> |

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
