From 47071aee6a1956524b9929b3b821f6d2f8cae23c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Howells Date: Fri, 31 Mar 2017 18:32:10 +0100 Subject: statx: Reserve the top bit of the mask for future struct expansion Reserve the top bit of the mask for future expansion of the statx struct and give an error if statx() sees it set. All the other bits are ignored if we see them set but don't support the bit; we just clear the bit in the returned mask.
