When a SETATTR call that changes mode bits is made against a netapp server, it returns a -EINVAL. The issue seems to be that we're not masking off the high-order mode bits when sending the call to the server.
Created attachment 147262 [details] patch to mask off high order mode bits in setattr calls This patch should fix it, but needs testing against v2/v3 (only the v4 part has been tested so far).
Note that this only seems to happen with very new versions of OnTap
Moving back to assigned to work on a more comprehensive upstream patch.
