[RFC 07/21] vfs: Add permission flags for setting file attributes

From: Andreas Gruenbacher
Date: Mon Mar 31 2014 - 19:59:34 EST


Richacls support permissions that allow to take ownership of a file, change the
file permissions, and set the file timestamps. Support that by introducing new
permission mask flags and by checking for those mask flags in
inode_change_ok().
