X-Git-Tag: v7.2-rc3~22^2~1
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=90dd1415a158b99ca16f5fe5862c07683e9ddcec;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

cifs: Fix and improve cifs_is_path_accessible() function

Do not call SMBQueryInformation() command for path with SMB wildcard
characters on non-UNICODE connection because server expands wildcards.
Function cifs_is_path_accessible() needs to check if the real path exists
and must not expand wildcard characters.

Do not dynamically allocate memory for small FILE_ALL_INFO structure and
instead allocate it on the stack. This structure is allocated on stack by
all other functions.

When CAP_NT_SMBS was not negotiated then do not issue CIFSSMBQPathInfo()
command. This command returns failure by non-NT Win9x SMB servers, so there
is no need try it. The purpose of cifs_is_path_accessible() function is
just to check if the path is accessible, so SMBQueryInformation() for old
servers is enough.
