[PATCH v13 05/51] vfs: Add permission flags for setting file attributes

From: Andreas Gruenbacher
Date: Tue Nov 03 2015 - 10:18:18 EST


Richacls support permissions that allow to take ownership of a file,
change the file permissions, and set the file timestamps. Support that
by introducing new permission mask flags and by checking for those mask
flags in inode_change_ok().
