Subject: [PATCH] Invalid notify_change(symlink, [ATTR_MODE]) in nfsd
Date: Tue, 04 May 2004 16:56:28 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1083682588.1444.24.camel@winden.suse.de> (raw)

notify_change() gets called with at most the ATTR_MODE flag set for
symlinks, but it should be called with the ATTR_MODE flag cleared.
This triggers a bug in fs/reiserfs/xattr_acl.c (reiserfs plus acl
patches), and perhaps on other file systems, too. (On ext2/ext3 symlinks
have no ->setattr, there the bug does not trigger.)

	int
	reiserfs_acl_chmod (struct inode *inode)
	{
        	struct posix_acl *acl, *clone;
	        int error;

==>	        if (S_ISLNK(inode->i_mode))
==>	                return -EOPNOTSUPP;


This is the fix -- please apply.
