The obvious question to check is whether this would lead to any issues if desired_access is not passed in in oparms in any cases (ie if it ends up 0), and also that this would not hurt any cases where we want to keep the handle cached (deferred close) but don't have sufficient permission for it to be usable by the subsequent operation (e.g. revalidate or stat) On Sat, Oct 5, 2024 at 11:10 AM Pali Rohár <pali@kernel.org> wrote: > > Linux SMB client currently is not able to access files for which do not > have FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES permission. > > For example it is not able to write data into file on SMB server to > which has only write access (no read or read attributes access).

IIRC if zero value is in OPEN/CREATE desired_access request then SMB server returns STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED. So it needs to be checked that desired_access is filled in all usage correctly. > and also that this would not hurt any cases where we want > to keep the handle cached (deferred close) but don't have sufficient > permission for it to be usable by the subsequent operation (e.g. > revalidate or stat) I see, so the code needs to be properly checked or tested that all these conditions are handled. > On Sat, Oct 5, 2024 at 11:10 AM Pali Rohár <pali@kernel.org> wrote: > > > > Linux SMB client currently is not able to access files for which do not > > have FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES permission. > > > > For example it is not able to write data into file on SMB server to > > which has only write access (no read or read attributes access).
