Subject: [PATCH v5 2/2] vfs: dedupe should return EPERM if permission is not granted
Date: Tue,  4 Sep 2018 13:40:16 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180904204016.14494-3-mfasheh@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180904204016.14494-1-mfasheh@suse.de>

Right now we return EINVAL if a process does not have permission to dedupe a
file. This was an oversight on my part. EPERM gives a true description of
the nature of our error, and EINVAL is already used for the case that the
filesystem does not support dedupe.
