Thanks for the patch! The behavior for CHATTR and DELETE permissions is
defined by UDF specification in 3.3.3.3 section. From that I'd say that we
should set CHATTR for user on creation and otherwise leave it untouched
(which is what you seem to be doing). For DELETE permission we should set
it to match WRITE permission (needs handling on file create in in
udf_setattr() when changing file permissions). Can you please fixup the
DELETE permission behavior?
