Subject: Re: [PATCH 01/25] VFS: move attr_kill logic from notify_change into helper function

> +void attr_kill_to_mode(struct inode *inode, struct iattr *attr)

This function badly needs a kerneldoc description.  Also I can't say
I like the name a lot, but without a clearly better idea I should
probably not complain :)

We should at least add a generic_ prefix to indicate it's a generic
helper valid for most filesystem (and the kerneldoc comment can explain
the details)
