Interesting, I would expect vfat/ntfs would not support both. (I suppose exfat
also does not support them).

Maybe ask Andrey Albershteyn (the author) and Christian Brauner (the committer)?

I also wonder if any of these should be mentioned in .tags (and in the text
comment, which I find a bit redundant when we have .tags):

474b155adf392 ("fs: make vfs_fileattr_[get|set] return -EOPNOTSUPP") # v6.17
NOTE: got reverted by 4dd5b5ac089bb in v6.18

d90ad28e8aa48 ("fs: return EOPNOTSUPP from file_setattr/file_getattr syscalls") # v6.18

Test itself LGTM.
