From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com> FS_ATTRIBUTE_INFORMATION responses have always reported FILE_CASE_SENSITIVE_SEARCH and FILE_CASE_PRESERVED_NAMES unconditionally. Case-insensitive filesystems like exFAT, and casefolded directories on ext4 or f2fs, have no way to signal their actual semantics to SMB clients. Now that filesystems expose case behavior through ->fileattr_get, query it via vfs_fileattr_get() and translate the FS_XFLAG_CASEFOLD and FS_XFLAG_CASENONPRESERVING flags into the corresponding SMB attributes. Filesystems without ->fileattr_get continue reporting default POSIX behavior (case-sensitive, case-preserving). SMB's FS_ATTRIBUTE_INFORMATION reports per-share attributes from the share root, not per-file. Shares mixing casefold and non-casefold directories report the root directory's behavior.
