From beb29e058c35ab69e96e455a12ccf7505f6de425 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miklos Szeredi Date: Tue, 1 Jul 2008 15:01:29 +0200 Subject: [patch 4/4] vfs: immutable inode checking cleanup Move the immutable and append-only checks from chmod, chown and utimes into notify_change(). Checks for immutable and append-only files are always performed by the VFS and not by the filesystem (see permission() and may_...() in namei.c), so these belong in notify_change(), and not in inode_change_ok(). This should be completely equivalent.
