From: Chuck Lever <redacted> Add case sensitivity reporting to the existing hfsplus_fileattr_get() function via the FS_XFLAG_CASEFOLD flag. HFS+ always preserves case at rest. Case sensitivity depends on how the volume was formatted: HFSX volumes may be either case-sensitive or case-insensitive, indicated by the HFSPLUS_SB_CASEFOLD superblock flag. FS_XFLAG_CASEFOLD is read-only: FS_XFLAG_RDONLY_MASK ensures FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR strips it. The legacy FS_IOC_SETFLAGS path in hfsplus_fileattr_set() also allows FS_CASEFOLD_FL through its allowlist on case-insensitive volumes so that a chattr read-modify-write cycle does not fail with EOPNOTSUPP.
