From 8fa43a81b97853fc69417bb6054182e78f95cbeb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Duane Griffin Date: Sun, 15 Feb 2009 18:57:26 -0500 Subject: ext4: don't inherit inappropriate inode flags from parent At present INDEX and EXTENTS are the only flags that new ext4 inodes do NOT inherit from their parent. In addition prevent the flags DIRTY, ECOMPR, IMAGIC, TOPDIR, HUGE_FILE and EXT_MIGRATE from being inherited. List inheritable flags explicitly to prevent future flags from accidentally being inherited. This fixes the TOPDIR flag inheritance bug reported at http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9866.
