From: Miklos Szeredi The FAT_IOCTL_SET_ATTRIBUTES ioctl() calls notify_change() to change the file mode before changing the inode attributes. Replace with explicit call to fat_setattr(). This is equivalent, except that security_inode_setattr() is not called before fat_setattr(). I think this is not needed, since the mode change is just a side effect of the attribute change.
