From: "Duane Griffin" Subject: [PATCH 0/3] ext{2,3,4}: don't inherit inappropriate inode flags from parent Date: Wed, 4 Jun 2008 13:46:25 +0100 Message-ID: <1212583588-5754-1-git-send-email-duaneg@dghda.com> Cc: Andreas Dilger , linux-ext4@vger.kernel.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org To: akpm@linux-foundation.org Return-path: Received: from kumera.dghda.com ([80.68.90.171]:1373 "EHLO kumera.dghda.com" rhost-flags-OK-OK-OK-OK) by vger.kernel.org with ESMTP id S1752006AbYFDMqi (ORCPT ); Wed, 4 Jun 2008 08:46:38 -0400 Sender: linux-ext4-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: This patch series fixes the TOPDIR flag inheritance bug reported at http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9866. It also prevents inheritance of other flags that Andreas Dilger identified as inappropriate to inherit. I'll follow up shortly with a separate set of patches to prevent flags being set on inappropriate node types. Cheers, Duane.
