      Inconsistent setattr behaviour · 0953e620
      Sachin S. Prabhu authored
      There is an inconsistency seen in the behaviour of nfs compared to other local
      filesystems on linux when changing owner or group of a directory. If the
      directory has SUID/SGID flags set, on changing owner or group on the directory,
      the flags are stripped off on nfs. These flags are maintained on other
      filesystems such as ext3.
      
      To reproduce on a nfs share or local filesystem, run the following commands
      mkdir test; chmod +s+g test; chown user1 test; ls -ld test
      
      On the nfs share, the flags are stripped and the output seen is
      drwxr-xr-x 2 user1 root 4096 Feb 23  2009 test
      
      On other local filesystems(ex: ext3), the flags are not stripped and the output
      seen is
      drwsr-sr-x 2 user1 root 4096 Feb 23 13:57 test
      
      chown_common() called from sys_chown() will only strip the flags if the inode is
      not a directory.
      static int chown_common(struct dentry * dentry, uid_t user, gid_t group)
      {
      ..
              if (!S_ISDIR(inode->i_mode))
                      newattrs.ia_valid |=
                              ATTR_KILL_SUID | ATTR_KILL_SGID | ATTR_KILL_PRIV;
      ..
      }
      
      See: http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7990989775/xsh/chown.html
      
      "If the path argument refers to a regular file, the set-user-ID (S_ISUID) and
      set-group-ID (S_ISGID) bits of the file mode are cleared upon successful return
      from chown(), unless the call is made by a process with appropriate privileges,
      in which case it is implementation-dependent whether these bits are altered. If
      chown() is successfully invoked on a file that is not a regular file, these
      bits may be cleared. These bits are defined in <sys/stat.h>."
      
      The behaviour as it stands does not appear to violate POSIX.  However the
      actions performed are inconsistent when comparing ext3 and nfs.
