Re: [PATCH 1/3] statxat: Provide IOC flags for Windows fs attributes

From: Steve French <hidden>
Date: 2013-11-12 18:06:15
Also in: linux-cifs, linux-fsdevel, linux-nfs

I was experimenting with these flags when adding the per-file
compression support for cifs and smb2/smb3, and noticed that it would
be helpful to be able to display the FILE_ATTRIBUTE_ENCRYPTED flag
here too on get (ie to show that the file is encrypted at rest on the
server).   I am unsure whether displaying the "FILE_ATTRIBUTE_SPARSE"
is useful or not here but that is another obvious one.

And the other obvious flag to display would be
"FILE_ATTRIBUTE_INTEGRITY_STREAM" or equivalent (to indicate that this
file is protected by data and metadata checksums, perhaps btrfs and
other local file systems may even eventually allow you to configure
additional extra data/metadata integrity checks someday as well, not
just SMB3).

Provide IOC flags for Windows fs attributes so that they can be retrieved (or
even altered) using the FS_IOC_[GS]ETFLAGS ioctl and read using statxat().
