[PATCH -V7 11/26] vfs: Add permission flags for setting file attributes

From: Aneesh Kumar K.V
Date: Tue Oct 18 2011 - 11:39:49 EST


From: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@xxxxxxxxxx>

Some permission models can allow processes to take ownership of a file,
change the file permissions, and set the file timestamps. Introduce new
permission mask flags and check for those permissions in
inode_change_ok().
