Is there a reliable way to get information about the directory path within
the VFS 'readdir' function?
I tried using 'connection_struct::dir_path' but found that it sometimes has
the wrong directory path. The example trace shown below, taken from a
modified full audit, shows that the second 'opendir' followed by
'readdir' wrongly has the directory path ('dirpath='...) of the previous
'opendir':
smbd_mh_full_audit: opendir|ok|ADir
smbd_mh_full_audit: readdir|ok|result=.|dirpath=ADir
smbd_mh_full_audit: telldir|ok|
smbd_mh_full_audit: readdir|ok|result=..|dirpath=ADir
smbd_mh_full_audit: telldir|ok|
...
smbd_mh_full_audit: readdir|ok|
smbd_mh_full_audit: closedir|ok|
...
smbd_mh_full_audit: opendir|ok|.
smbd_mh_full_audit: readdir|ok|result=.|dirpath=ADir
smbd_mh_full_audit: telldir|ok|
smbd_mh_full_audit: readdir|ok|result=..|dirpath=ADir
smbd_mh_full_audit: telldir|ok|
...
I want to have the directory path information when processing a 'readdir'
call so that I can skip certain files that occur in certain directory
paths. Should I be able to rely on 'connection_struct::dir_path' to give me
this information?
The smbd version is 3.0.13-1.1-SUSE, on Suse 9.3, Linux 2.6.11.4-21.7-smp.
Thanks,
Philip
