chmod errors compiling on btrfs

[Andrew Benton]

Hello World.
I've created a btrfs partition and have tried compiling some programs on 
it, however, some of them fail with errors due to incorrect permissions. 
e2fsprogs fails like this:-

make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/btrfs/sources/e2fsprogs-1.41.9'
make[1]: Entering directory `/mnt/btrfs/sources/e2fsprogs-1.41.9/lib/et'
	SUBST compile_et

make[1]: Entering directory `/mnt/btrfs/sources/e2fsprogs-1.41.9/lib/ext2fs'
	SUBST ext2_err.et

and coreutils fails like this:-

   CCLD   setuidgid
   CCLD   getlimits
   CCLD   su

Both times the files created were world writeable when they should have 
been read only. I get the same errors if I compile as myself or root. If 
I compile in my home folder (on a reiserfs partition) they compile with 
no problem. I'm using a self compiled vanila 2.6.31.4 kernel. I created 
the partition with btrfs-progs-0.19.

We fixed some umask problems recently, these should be fixed in the
master branch of the btrfs-unstable repo (which is against 2.6.31).

Thanks, that did the trick. Will these umask fixes be in the 2.6.32 kernel?

Great.  They are already included in 2.6.32-rc releases
