From: Andrew Morton Date: Thu, 7 Dec 2006 04:37:33 +0000 (-0800) Subject: [PATCH] protect ext2 ioctl modifying append_only immutable etc with i_mutex X-Git-Tag: v2.6.20-rc1~145^2^2~156 X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=93f210dd9e614ddab7ecef0b4c9ba6ad3720d860;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git [PATCH] protect ext2 ioctl modifying append_only immutable etc with i_mutex Port commit a090d9132c1e53e3517111123680c15afb25c0a4 into ext2: All modifications of ->i_flags in inodes that might be visible to somebody else must be under ->i_mutex. That patch fixes ext2 ioctl() setting S_APPEND.
