[PATCH v2 2/6] generic/314, afs: Allow for a filesystem that doesn't honour SGID inheritance

[Date Prev] [Date Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Date Index] [Thread Index]



The AFS filesystem doesn't do any special handling for the SUID, SGID and
SVTX bits and doesn't perform any sort of propagation.  Further, only a
user with cell admin rights can set non-0777 bits.

Handle this by adding a "_require_sgid_inheritance" clause and labelling
the test with it, thereby skipping for filesystems that don't support it.
