Subject: [PATCH 0/4] ovl: fix IS_APPEND() checks
Date: Thu,  6 Apr 2017 11:13:45 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1491466429-30333-1-git-send-email-amir73il@gmail.com> (raw)

Miklos,

This series fixes the append-only violations found by the new
xfstest overlay/030.

I did it to see how bad it would be compared to propagating
the S_APPEND/S_IMMUTABLE flags to overlay inode.

IMO, the [f]truncate patches look ok, but the last vfs_open()
patch less so (?).

Do you think we can get away without propagating the flags?
If getflags()/setflags() were standard vfs ops, we could have
handled this nicer...
Those "fs specific flags" have long been a standard, so perhaps
its time to make the setflags/getflags a vfs api?

Amir.
