commit 5f16f322 upstream. Use cmpxchg() to atomically set i_flags instead of clearing out the S_IMMUTABLE, S_APPEND, etc. flags and then setting them from the EXT4_IMMUTABLE_FL, EXT4_APPEND_FL flags, since this opens up a race where an immutable file has the immutable flag cleared for a brief window of time. js: there is no change for ext4. This patch defines merely inode_set_flags for jffs in the next patch. I wonder why do we have both inode_set_flags and set_mask_bits? Looks like an improperly resolved merge conflict.
