NAME

ntfs_setattr - called from notify_change when an attribute is being changed

SYNOPSIS

"SYNOPSIS"

int ntfs_setattr (struct dentry * dentry, struct iattr * attr);

ARGUMENTS

dentry: dentry whose attributes to change
attr: structure describing the attributes and the changes

DESCRIPTION

We have to trap VFS attempts to truncate the file described by dentry as soon as possible, because we do not implement changes in i_size yet. So we abort all i_size changes here.

Called with ->i_sem held.

Basically this is a copy of generic notify_change and inode_setattr functionality, except we intercept and abort changes in i_size.
