The patch titled ext3: don't inherit inappropriate inode flags from parent has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was ext3-dont-inherit-inappropriate-inode-flags-from-parent.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: ext3: don't inherit inappropriate inode flags from parent From: "Duane Griffin" <duaneg@xxxxxxxxx> At present INDEX is the only flag that new ext3 inodes do NOT inherit from their parent. In addition prevent the flags DIRTY, ECOMPR, IMAGIC and TOPDIR from being inherited. List inheritable flags explicitly to prevent future flags from accidentally being inherited. This fixes the TOPDIR flag inheritance bug reported at http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9866.
