[PATCH v14 05/15] ntfs3: Implement fileattr_get for case sensitivity

From: Chuck Lever <cel@kernel.org>
Date: 2026-05-07 08:54:00
Also in: linux-cifs, linux-ext4, linux-f2fs-devel, linux-fsdevel, linux-nfs, linux-xfs
Subsystem: filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), ntfs3 filesystem, the rest · Maintainers: Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Konstantin Komarov, Linus Torvalds

From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>

Report NTFS case sensitivity behavior via the FS_XFLAG_CASEFOLD
flag. NTFS always preserves case at rest.
