[RFC PATCH v2 8/8] Move RLIMIT_NPROC check to the place where we increment the counter

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

 



After calling set_user(), we always have to call commit_creds() to apply
new credentials upon the current task. There is no need to separate
limit check and counter incrementing.
