From: Theodore Ts'o Subject: [PATCH] ext2,ext3,ext4: don't inherit APPEND_FL or IMMUTABLE_FL for new inodes Date: Sat, 13 Aug 2011 22:28:06 -0400 Message-ID: <1313288886-32689-1-git-send-email-tytso@mit.edu> References: <20110814020617.GB3524@thunk.org> Cc: Theodore Ts'o To: Ext4 Developers List Return-path: Received: from li9-11.members.linode.com ([67.18.176.11]:46338 "EHLO test.thunk.org" rhost-flags-OK-OK-OK-OK) by vger.kernel.org with ESMTP id S1752272Ab1HNC2L (ORCPT ); Sat, 13 Aug 2011 22:28:11 -0400 In-Reply-To: <20110814020617.GB3524@thunk.org> Sender: linux-ext4-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: This doesn't make much sense, and it exposes a bug in the kernel where attempts to create a new file in an append-only directory using O_CREAT will fail (but still leave a zero-length file). This was discovered when xfstests #79 was generalized so it could run on all file systems.
