Subject: [PATCH 1/5] hfs: update comments on hfs_inode_setattr
Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2026 07:36:48 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260325063711.3298685-2-hch@lst.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260325063711.3298685-1-hch@lst.de>

The top of function comment about hfs_inode_setattr is severely out
of date and reference a previous name for this function.  Remove it,
and update the comments in the file to record the still relevant bits
directly.

- * hfs_notify_change()

- * Based very closely on fs/msdos/inode.c by Werner Almesberger
- *
- * This is the notify_change() field in the super_operations structure
- * for HFS file systems.  The purpose is to take that changes made to
- * an inode and apply then in a filesystem-dependent manner.  In this
- * case the process has a few of tasks to do:
- *  1) prevent changes to the i_uid and i_gid fields.
- *  2) map file permissions to the closest allowable permissions
- *  3) Since multiple Linux files can share the same on-disk inode under
- *     HFS (for instance the data and resource forks of a file) a change
- *     to permissions must be applied to all other in-core inodes which
- *     correspond to the same HFS file.
