Message-ID<rkzn4-4jC-7@gated-at.bofh.it>
In most cases, EPERM is returned on immutable inode, and there're only
a few places returning EACCES. And EPERM looks more reasonable to me.

So converting all EACCES to EPERM on immutable inode.

I noticed this when running LTP on overlayfs, setxattr03 failed due to
unexpected EACCES on immutable inode.

This should be in the commit message itself, rather than "EPERM
looks more reasonable".

Other than that, change seems fine to me.

In most cases, EPERM is returned on immutable inode, and there're only a
few places returning EACCES. I noticed this when running LTP on
overlayfs, setxattr03 failed due to unexpected EACCES on immutable
inode.

So converting all EACCES to EPERM on immutable inode.
