commit 28e12c09f5aa081b2d13d1340e3610070b6c624d upstream. Now that inodes and dentries are created on the fly, they are also reclaimed on memory pressure. Since the ownership and file mode are saved in the inode, if they are freed, any changes to the ownership and mode will be lost. To counter this, if the user changes the permissions or ownership, save them, and when creating the inodes again, restore those changes.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
