Subject: Add fchmodat2() - or add a more general syscall?
Date: Tue, 25 Jul 2023 16:58:34 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <104971.1690300714@warthog.procyon.org.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1689092120.git.legion@kernel.org>

Rather than adding a fchmodat2() syscall, should we add a "set_file_attrs()"
syscall that takes a mask and allows you to set a bunch of stuff all in one
go?  Basically, an interface to notify_change() in the kernel that would allow
several stats to be set atomically.  This might be of particular interest to
network filesystems.

David
