From: Marco Stornelli <marco.stornelli@xxxxxxxxx> All fs must check for the immutable flag in their fallocate callback. It's possible to have a race condition in this scenario: an application open a file in read/write and it does something, meanwhile root set the immutable flag on the file, the application at that point can call fallocate with success. Only Ocfs2 check for the immutable flag at the moment.
