When stressing xfs/083, I found it sometimes fails as the following: +++ touch 50000 files setfattr: /home/fsgqa/scratchmnt/INOBT/20627: Operation not permitted ./common/fuzzy: line 18: /home/fsgqa/scratchmnt/INOBT/20627: Operation not permitted mv: cannot move '/home/fsgqa/scratchmnt/INOBT/20627' to '/home/fsgqa/scratchmnt/INOBT/20627.longer': Operation not permitted ... xfs_repair did not fix everything It's simply that INOBT/20627 was an immutable file generated from fuzzing. Therefore, this patch tries to clear the flag first before modification. Note that it clears dax flag as well since it prevents immutable flag from clearing.
