+ * inode_set_flags - atomically set some inode flags

+ * Note: the caller should be holding i_mutex, or else be sure that

+ * inode is being instantiated). The reason for the cmpxchg() loop
+ * --- which wouldn't be necessary if all code paths which modify
+ * i_flags actually followed this rule, is that there is at least one
+ * code path which doesn't today --- for example,
+ * __generic_file_aio_write() calls file_remove_suid() without holding
+ * i_mutex --- so we use cmpxchg() out of an abundance of caution.
+ *
+ * In the long run, i_mutex is overkill, and we should probably look
+ * at using the i_lock spinlock to protect i_flags, and then make sure
+ * it is so documented in include/linux/fs.h and that all code follows
+ * the locking convention!!
