From e0ad7b073eb7317e5afe0385b02dcb1d52a1eedf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "akpm@osdl.org" Date: Mon, 9 Jan 2006 20:51:56 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] move xattr permission checks into the VFS ) From: Christoph Hellwig The xattr code has rather complex permission checks because the rules are very different for different attribute namespaces. This patch moves as much as we can into the generic code. Currently all the major disk based filesystems duplicate these checks, while many minor filesystems or network filesystems lack some or all of them. To do this we need defines for the extended attribute names in common code, I moved them up from JFS which had the nicest defintions.
