Re: [PATCH v7 2/6] ocfs2: Switch to security_inode_init_security()

[Joseph Qi <joseph.qi@linux.alibaba.com>]

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply.

I don't have much background on this thread. It seems that we have to
check EOPNOTSUPP since ocfs2_init_security_get() may return EOPNOTSUPP
if it doesn't support extended attribute feature for backward
compatibility.

Other looks good. So with above comments addressed, you can add:
