User Forza reported on IRC that some invalid combinations of file attributes are accepted by chattr. The NODATACOW and compression file flags/attributes are mutually exclusive, but they could be set by 'chattr +c +C' on an empty file. The nodatacow will be in effect because it's checked first in btrfs_run_delalloc_range. Extend the flag validation to catch the following cases: - input flags are conflicting - old and new flags are conflicting - initialize the local variable with inode flags after inode ls locked Inode attributes take precedence over mount options and are an independent setting. Nocompress would be a no-op with nodatacow, but we don't want to mix any compression-related options with nodatacow. CC: stable@vger.kernel.org # 4.4+ Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
