LGTM, obviously it is CAP_LINUX_IMMUTABLE related.

This looks like fs/bcachefs/fs-ioctl.c

static int bch2_inode_flags_set(struct btree_trans *trans,
                                struct bch_inode_info *inode,
                                struct bch_inode_unpacked *bi,
                                void *p)
{
        ...
        if (((newflags ^ oldflags) & (BCH_INODE_append|BCH_INODE_immutable)) &&
            !capable(CAP_LINUX_IMMUTABLE))
                return -EPERM;


We don't test on vfat and exfat. If I try to do it fail the same way (bcachefs,
fat, exfat and ocfs2 use custom handler for FAT_IOCTL_SET_ATTRIBUTES).

I wonder why it does not fail for generic VFS fs/ioctl.c used by Btrfs and XFS:

/*
 * Generic function to check FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR/FS_IOC_SETFLAGS values and reject
 * any invalid configurations.
 *
 * Note: must be called with inode lock held.
 */
static int fileattr_set_prepare(struct inode *inode,
                              const struct fileattr *old_ma,
                              struct fileattr *fa)
{
        int err;

        /*
         * The IMMUTABLE and APPEND_ONLY flags can only be changed by
         * the relevant capability.
         */
        if ((fa->flags ^ old_ma->flags) & (FS_APPEND_FL | FS_IMMUTABLE_FL) &&
            !capable(CAP_LINUX_IMMUTABLE))
                return -EPERM;


Kind regards,
Petr
