Subject: [PATCH] smb: client: honor forceuid/forcegid when mapping SIDs to
uid/gid

When the administrator mounts with forceuid or forcegid (uid=/gid= mount options), they expect all files to appear owned by the specified user/group. However, several code paths unconditionally called sid_to_id() to overwrite cf_uid/cf_gid with server-provided values, ignoring the administrator's explicit override:

- smb311_posix_info_to_fattr() (stat via POSIX extensions)
- cifs_posix_to_fattr() (readdir via POSIX extensions)
- parse_sec_desc() (CIFS ACL ownership mapping)

This allowed an untrusted server to dictate local file ownership even when the mount was configured to force specific uid/gid values.

Fix all three call sites to check CIFS_MOUNT_OVERR_UID and CIFS_MOUNT_OVERR_GID before calling sid_to_id(), following the same pattern already used by cifs_unix_basic_to_fattr() for unix extensions.

Closes https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260906155816.603278-1-pc%40manguebit.org

PATCH 1/1 smb: client: honor forceuid/forcegid when mapping SIDs to uid/gid

From: Paulo Alcantara <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 18a72975e9f35aadecc75b031f693f2d1f49308f ]

- smb311_posix_info_to_fattr() (stat via POSIX extensions)
- cifs_posix_to_fattr() (readdir via POSIX extensions)
- parse_sec_desc() (CIFS ACL ownership mapping)

This allowed an untrusted server to dictate local file ownership even when the mount was configured to force specific uid/gid values.
