[PATCH 001/001] btrfs: Mechanism to modify the permission of asubvolume

From: J S, Ajesh
Date: Wed Apr 23 2014 - 09:30:32 EST


From: Ajesh JS <ajesh.js@xxxxxx>

This patch provides a mechanism to modify the permission of a subvolume in a btrfs file system
This helps to apply a policy of having read-write subvolume inside a read-only subvolume.
One use case is to have the whole root file system as a read-only subvolume and have /etc as a read-write subvolume inside.
