All the more reason you should be adding the same guard to all the other filesystems....

Don't leave landmines with security implications around - make sure all filesystems have the same protections. -Dave. -- Dave Chinner david@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-api" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
