Subject: [patch 1/4] vfs: utimes: move owner check into inode_change_ok()
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.27-rc1~73^2~18
X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9767d74957450da6365c363d69e3d02d605d7375;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

[patch 1/4] vfs: utimes: move owner check into inode_change_ok()

Add a new ia_valid flag: ATTR_TIMES_SET, to handle the
UTIMES_OMIT/UTIMES_NOW and UTIMES_NOW/UTIMES_OMIT cases.  In these
cases neither ATTR_MTIME_SET nor ATTR_ATIME_SET is in the flags, yet
the POSIX draft specifies that permission checking is performed the
same way as if one or both of the times was explicitly set to a
timestamp.

See the path "vfs: utimensat(): fix error checking for
{UTIME_NOW,UTIME_OMIT} case" by Michael Kerrisk for the patch
introducing this behavior.

This is a cleanup, as well as allowing filesystems (NFS/fuse/...) to
perform their own permission checking instead of the default.
