The patch titled CIFS: ignore mode change if it's just for clearing setuid/setgid bits has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is cifs-ignore-mode-change-if-its-just-for-clearing-setuid-setgid-bits.patch *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: CIFS: ignore mode change if it's just for clearing setuid/setgid bits From: Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxxx> If the ATTR_KILL_S*ID bits are set then any mode change is only for clearing the setuid/setgid bits. For CIFS, skip the mode change and let the server handle it.
