Re: [PATCH 0/2] Fixes for the NFS automounter

[Scott Haiden <scott.b.haiden@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I think this patch 
(https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=b01f21cacde9f2878492cf318fee61bf4ccad323) 
might have broken the getxattr system call over NFS.

On v6.16.1, I was able to call `getxattr` on files in an NFS 4.2 mount, 
but with this patch, running the same command I get:

    $ cd /path/to/nfs4.2/mount
    $ getfattr -n user.hash.sha512 'S01E01 - Kassa.mkv'
    S01E01 - Kassa.mkv: user.hash.sha512: Operation not supported

Without this patch, it just returns the xattr with no problem.

Am I missing a mount option? Or, is it possible this commit introduced a 
bug?

I ran a git bisect between v6.16.1 and v6.16.2 and it pointed to this 
patch's backport to the stable tree.

Thanks,
