[PATCH] fs: return EPERM on immutable inode

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

 



In most cases, EPERM is returned on immutable inode, and there're only
a few places returning EACCES. And EPERM looks more reasonable to me.

So converting all EACCES to EPERM on immutable inode.

I noticed this when running LTP on overlayfs, setxattr03 failed due to
unexpected EACCES on immutable inode.
