Given the clause about how the file 'cannot be modified', it is surprising that programs holding writable file descriptors can continue to write to and truncate files after the immutable flag has been set, but they cannot call other things such as utimes, fallocate, unlink, link, setxattr, or reflink. Since the immutable flag is only settable by administrators, resolve this inconsistent behavior in favor of the documented behavior -- once the flag is set, the file cannot be modified, period. We presume that administrators must be trusted to know what they're doing, and that cutting off programs with writable fds will probably break them. Therefore, add immutability checks to the relevant VFS functions, then refactor the SETFLAGS and FSSETXATTR implementations to use common argument checking functions so that we can then force pagefaults on all the file data when setting immutability. Note that various distro manpages points out the inconsistent behavior of the various Linux filesystems w.r.t. immutable. This fixes all that. I also discovered that userspace programs can write and create writable memory mappings to active swap files. This is extremely bad because this allows anyone with write privileges to corrupt system memory. The final patch in this series closes off that hole, at least for swap files. If you're going to start using this mess, you probably ought to just pull from my git trees, which are linked below. This has been lightly tested with fstests. Enjoy!
