[PATCH 5/5] vfs: only allow FSSETXATTR to set DAX flag on files and dirs

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Darrick J. Wong <darrick.wong@xxxxxxxxxx>

The DAX flag only applies to files and directories, so don't let it get
set for other types of files.
