Hi All,
This updated patchset is on top of ad81f054 of xfs git (3.11-rc1). The
patches do not convert the id's returned from bulkstat, since bulkstat
cannot be called from inside a userns right now anyway since the caller
must be CAP_SYS_ADMIN in init_user_ns.
Changes since v3 patchset:
- export inode_capable() for building xfs as a module
- implement Brian's proposal for an internal flag to indicate to
xfs_inode_free_eofblocks() that it should do a permission check.
ioctl callers will always set this flag, which is simpler than
making them specify XFS_EOF_FLAGS_UID or XFS_EOF_FLAGS_GID,
internal callers can leave it unset so no permission checking is
done
- take Brian's suggestion on moving the policy from the conversion
function into the ioctl code, and moving stuff to xfs_icache.h
