FIBMAP can be handled per fs by auditing the code paths. First job would be to push the security check into each fs, then audit the fs's and then change them. But its really a 2.5 job since any third party fs might spontaneously become insecure oitherwise - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
