There's a slight problem (other than HCH not liking it) with this
approach of passing the open file in iattr: for special files, the
struct file pointer makes no sense to the filesystem, since it is always
opened by the generic functions.
This wasn't a problem with ftruncate(), because that one only works on
regular files, but fchmod/fchown/futimes will work on special files as
well, and the filesystem interpreting file->private_data could cause
nasty bugs.
So I think the correct solution (which was suggested by Trond and
others) is to define an f_op->fsetattr() method, which interested
filesystems can define.
