zero i_uid/i_gid on inode allocation

2009-01-05T16:54:28+00:00

... and don't bother in callers.  Don't bother with zeroing i_blocks,
while we are at it - it's already been zeroed.

i_mode is not worth the effort; it has no common default value.

[PATCH] move executable checking into ->permission()

2008-10-23T09:13:25+00:00

For execute permission on a regular files we need to check if file has
any execute bits at all, regardless of capabilites.

This check is normally performed by generic_permission() but was also
added to the case when the filesystem defines its own ->permission()
method.  In the latter case the filesystem should be responsible for
performing this check.

Move the check from inode_permission() inside filesystems which are
not calling generic_permission().

Create a helper function execute_ok() that returns true if the inode
is a directory or if any execute bits are present in i_mode.

Also fix up the following code:

 - coda control file is never executable
 - sysctl files are never executable
 - hfs_permission seems broken on MAY_EXEC, remove
 - hfsplus_permission is eqivalent to generic_permission(), remove

With this patch all directory fops instances that have a readdir

[PATCH] sanitize ->permission() prototype

2008-07-27T00:53:14+00:00

* kill nameidata * argument; map the 3 bits in ->flags anybody cares
  about to new MAY_... ones and pass with the mask.
* kill redundant gfs2_iop_permission()
* sanitize ecryptfs_permission()
* fix remaining places where ->permission() instances might barf on new
  MAY_... found in mask.

The obvious next target in that direction is permission(9)
