For uses via ioctl() you simply won't get there with device nodes et.al. - they have file_operations of their own. If we add syscall(s) for getting/setting those, there's no reason for e.g. a device node not to have those attributes... > +static int ioctl_getflags(struct file *file, void __user *argp) unsigned int __user *argp, surely? > +{ > + struct fileattr fa = { .flags_valid = true }; /* hint only */ > + unsigned int flags; > + int err; > + > + err = vfs_fileattr_get(file->f_path.dentry, &fa); > + if (!err) { > + flags = fa.flags; > + if (copy_to_user(argp, &flags, sizeof(flags))) > + err = -EFAULT; ... and put_user() here. > + } > + return err; > +} > + > +static int ioctl_setflags(struct file *file, void __user *argp) > +{ > + struct fileattr fa; > + unsigned int flags; > + int err; > + > + if (copy_from_user(&flags, argp, sizeof(flags))) > + return -EFAULT; > + > + err = mnt_want_write_file(file); > + if (!err) { > + fileattr_fill_flags(&fa, flags); > + err = vfs_fileattr_set(file_mnt_user_ns(file), file_dentry(file), &fa); > + mnt_drop_write_file(file); > + } > + return err; > +} Similar here.
