| |
Hi Andrew! Christoph! Al!
after thinking some time about the oracle words (sent in reply to previous BME submissions) we (Sam and I) came to the conclusion that it would be a good idea to remove the nameidata introduced in September 2003 from the inode permission() checks, so that vfs_permission() can take care of them ...
this is in two parts, the first one does the removal and the second one fixes up nfs and fuse by passing the relevant nd_flags via the mask
Note: this is just a suggestion, so please let us know what you think
