[patch 09/15] vfs: immutable inode checking cleanup

[Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>]

[-- Attachment #1: immutable_cleanup.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 3912 bytes --]

From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz>

Move the immutable and append-only checks from chmod, chown and utimes
into notify_change().  Checks for immutable and append-only files are
always performed by the VFS and not by the filesystem (see
permission() and may_...() in namei.c), so these belong in
notify_change(), and not in inode_change_ok().
