v5 cover fix file truncations when both suid and write permissions set

Andrew, these two patches can replace the -mm patch "vfs-allow-file-truncations-when-both-suid-and-write-permissions-set.patch".

When suid is set and the non-owner user has write permission, any writing into this file should be allowed and suid should be removed after that.

However, current kernel only allows writing without truncations, when we do truncations on that file, we get EPERM. This is a bug.

Steps to reproduce this bug:

% ls -l rootdir/file1
-rwsrwsrwx 1 root root 3 Jun 25 15:42 rootdir/file1 % echo h > rootdir/file1
zsh: operation not permitted: rootdir/file1 % ls -l rootdir/file1
-rwsrwsrwx 1 root root 3 Jun 25 15:42 rootdir/file1 % echo h >> rootdir/file1
% ls -l rootdir/file1
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Jun 25 16:34 rootdir/file1

This patch fixes it.

PATCH v5 1/2 selinux: adjust rules for ATTR_FORCE

[PATCH] selinux: adjust rules for ATTR_FORCE

From: Amerigo Wang <[email protected]>

As suggested by OGAWA Hirofumi in thread: http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/8/7/132,
we should let selinux_inode_setattr() to match our ATTR_* rules. ATTR_FORCE should not force things like ATTR_SIZE.

PATCH v5 2/2 vfs: allow file truncations when both suid and write permissions set

In reply to Amerigo Wang

With patch 1/2 applied, now we can just simply add ATTR_FORCE flag, to remove suid on truncation.
