[RFC][PATCH 22/30] r/o bind mounts: elevate write count for chmod/chown callers

From: Dave Hansen
Date: Fri Feb 08 2008 - 17:38:22 EST



chown/chmod,etc... don't call permission in the same way that the normal
"open for write" calls do. They still write to the filesystem, so bump the
write count during these operations.
