[PATCH] reiserfs: xattr/acl fixes
Here are a few fixes for bugs noticed on reiserfs-list or our own bugzilla. Attached is a patch that fixes several problems with xattrs/acls: [SECURITY] Fixes the inode not getting dirtied when mode is set via setxattr() [CORRECTNESS] Fixes the inode not getting ctime updated when an xattr is removed [DATA] Fixes an issue with dcache hash colliding names in the filesystem root caused by the d_compare to hide .reiserfs_priv. The bug can only occur in the filesystem root, which is why we haven't seen many (any, outside of the suse bugzilla, afaik) reports on this. The results are that dcache operations on colliding entries in the fs root will choose the first match rather than the correct entry.
