From: Theodore Ts'o Date: Wed, 31 Aug 2011 15:54:51 +0000 (-0400) Subject: ext2,ext3,ext4: don't inherit APPEND_FL or IMMUTABLE_FL for new inodes X-Git-Tag: v2.6.32.47~3 X-Git-Url: http://xenbits.xensource.com/gitweb?a=commitdiff_plain;h=12aba73936ab53cf0536b48b1403ed98f016fa6f;p=linux-pvops.git ext2,ext3,ext4: don't inherit APPEND_FL or IMMUTABLE_FL for new inodes commit 1cd9f0976aa4606db8d6e3dc3edd0aca8019372a upstream. This doesn't make much sense, and it exposes a bug in the kernel where attempts to create a new file in an append-only directory using O_CREAT will fail (but still leave a zero-length file). This was discovered when xfstests #79 was generalized so it could run on all file systems.
