Subject: utimensat() non-conformances and fixes [v4] (patch)
Andrew,
This patch fixes all of the utimensat() bugs outlined in my
previous mail.
I could have split the patch out into a few pieces, but given
that it is not long, and all against a single file, I've made
one patch. Let me know if you would like separate patches for
the pieces below.
Miklos suggested an alternative idea, migrating the
is_owner_or_cap() check into fs/attr.c:inode_change_ok() via
the use of an ATTR_OWNER_CHECK flag. Maybe we could do that
later, but for now I've one with this version, which is
simpler, and can be more easily read as being correct.
Roughly, the changes accomplish the following:

The patch also
a) removes the now unneeded nsec_special() helper function.
b) Makes a whitespace cleanup (tabs instead of spaces).

Thanks to Miklos, who's comments helped me improve and complete
the patch.
Cheers,
Michael
