From a9a315d41407cd1079eb815f4adae897cc08b0d2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sachin Prabhu Date: Fri, 31 Jan 2014 14:27:16 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] cifs: Fix check for regular file in couldbe_mf_symlink() MF Symlinks are regular files containing content in a specified format. The function couldbe_mf_symlink() checks the mode for a set S_IFREG bit as a test to confirm that it is a regular file. This bit is also set for other filetypes and simply checking for this bit being set may return false positives. We ensure that we are actually checking for a regular file by using the S_ISREG macro to test instead.
