Subject: [PATCH V2] btrfs: fix perms on demonstration debugfs interface
Date: Wed, 31 Aug 2016 16:49:29 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <13cedfd1-1eb2-6097-6f12-48e387042b9b@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <d6715b5b-0aa3-3032-43c6-eccd907a60b8@redhat.com>

btrfs provides a helpful demonstration of how to export
a global variable via debugfs; however, it is unique among
other debugfs files in that it is world-writable, which causes
some concern to people who are not familiar with its purpose.

Fix it so that it is only user-writable.
