From 3209f68b3ca4667069923a325c88b21131bfdf9f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Howells Date: Fri, 31 Mar 2017 18:32:17 +0100 Subject: statx: Include a mask for stx_attributes in struct statx Include a mask in struct stat to indicate which bits of stx_attributes the filesystem actually supports. This would also be useful if we add another system call that allows you to do a 'bulk attribute set' and pass in a statx struct with the masks appropriately set to say what you want to set.
