The patch titled
fat: relax the permission check of fat_setattr()
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
fat-relax-the-permission-check-of-fat_setattr.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: fat: relax the permission check of fat_setattr()
From: OGAWA Hirofumi <hirofumi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
New chmod() allows only acceptable permission, and if not acceptable, it
returns -EPERM. Old one allows even if it can't store permission to on
disk inode. But it seems too strict for users.
E.g. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=449080: With new one,
rsync couldn't create the temporary file.
So, this patch allows like old one, but now it doesn't change the
permission if it can't store, and it returns 0.
Also, this patch fixes missing check.
