Subject: [PATCH 001/001] btrfs: Mechanism to modify the permission of a subvolume

From: Ajesh JS <[email protected]>

This patch provides a mechanism to modify the permission of a subvolume in a btrfs file system
This helps to apply a policy of having read-write subvolume inside a read-only subvolume.
One use case is to have the whole root file system as a read-only subvolume and have /etc as a read-write subvolume inside.

Hi,

Why doesn't the existing properties feature (3.14) work for you?

Example:

$ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdd
$ mount /dev/sdd /mnt/sdd

$ btrfs subvolume create /mnt/sdd/topsubvol
$ btrfs subvolume create /mnt/sdd/topsubvol/child

$ btrfs property set /mnt/sdd/topsubvol ro true

$ touch /mnt/sdd/topsubvol/file
$ touch: cannot touch ‘/mnt/sdd/topsubvol/file’: Read-only file system

$ touch /mnt/sdd/topsubvol/child/file

The property set/get just uses the ioctls BTRFS_IOC_SUBVOL_SETFLAGS
and BTRFS_IOC_SUBVOL_GETFLAGS.

thanks
