Jeff Layton <jlayton@kernel.org> says:
Filesystems currently have to set the ->setlease() method explicitly in
order to deny attempts to set a lease or delegation. With the advent of
directory delegations, we now need to set ->setlease on the directory
file_operations for several filesystems to simple_nosetlease() to ensure
this.
This patchset does that. There should be no noticeable change in
behavior, other than fixing the support detection in xfstests, allowing
lease/delegation tests to be properly skipped on these filesystems.
It's probably simplest to merge these all at once via Christian's tree
if he's amenable, but Acks would be welcome. Ideally these would go in
for v6.19.
Long term, I think it would be best to change leases/delegations to be
an opt-in thing, such that leases are always denied by default if the
method isn't set. That's a larger patchset though as we'd need to audit
all of the file_operations that currently have ->setlease() as NULL.
