From 93f210dd9e614ddab7ecef0b4c9ba6ad3720d860 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrew Morton Date: Wed, 6 Dec 2006 20:37:33 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [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.
