The patch titled NFS: if ATTR_KILL_S*ID bits are set, then skip mode change has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is nfs-if-attr_kill_sid-bits-are-set-then-skip-mode-change.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: NFS: if ATTR_KILL_S*ID bits are set, then skip mode change 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 NFS, skip the mode change and let the server handle it. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: "J.
