Subject: [PATCH 1/5] vfs: create a generic checking and prep function for FS_IOC_SETFLAGS
Date: Tue, 25 Jun 2019 19:32:10 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <156151633004.2283456.4175543089138173586.stgit@magnolia> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <156151632209.2283456.3592379873620132456.stgit@magnolia>

From: Darrick J. Wong <darrick.wong@oracle.com>

Create a generic function to check incoming FS_IOC_SETFLAGS flag values
and later prepare the inode for updates so that we can standardize the
implementations that follow ext4's flag values.
