Subject: time_attrs argument for security_path_truncate
Date: Wed, 2 Jun 2010 01:50:55 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100601155055.GZ9453@laptop> (raw)
It appears like the time_attrs parameter of security_path_truncate is
unused by any security module, so I wonder if we can remove it?
We cannot really get it right for truncate(2) calls anyway without
holding i_mutex over the call (because ATTR_MTIME|ATTR_CTIME is
effectively set iff size changes). So the meaning of this parameter
today is misleading anyway.
Thanks,
Nick
