From cc4e69dee4a080f6eae3f410daec2593f4fa6f00 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miklos Szeredi Date: Mon, 7 Nov 2005 00:59:49 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] VFS: pass file pointer to filesystem from ftruncate() This patch extends the iattr structure with a file pointer memeber, and adds an ATTR_FILE validity flag for this member. This is set if do_truncate() is invoked from ftruncate() or from do_coredump(). The change is source and binary compatible.
