    udf: augment UDF permissions on new inodes · c3367a1b

    Windows presents files created within Linux as read-only, even when
    permissions in Linux indicate the file should be writable.
    
    UDF defines a slightly different set of basic file permissions than Linux.
    Specifically, UDF has "delete" and "change attribute" permissions for each
    access class (user/group/other). Linux has no equivalents for these.
    
    When the Linux UDF driver creates a file (or directory), no UDF delete or
    change attribute permissions are granted. The lack of delete permission
    appears to cause Windows to mark an item read-only when its permissions
    otherwise indicate that it should be read-write.
    
    Fix this by having UDF delete permissions track Linux write permissions.
    Also grant UDF change attribute permission to the owner when creating a
    new inode.
