I like this change a lot! But one caveat: > + /* > + * Despite the fact that it's an int return function, __f_setown never > + * returns an error. Just ignore any error return here, but spew a > + * WARN_ON_ONCE in case this ever changes. > + */ > + WARN_ON_ONCE(__f_setown(filp, task_pid(current), PIDTYPE_PID, 0)); I don't think this is a good idea. The errors in __f_setown come from the security modules, and they could change easily. If you can convince the LSM people to change their file_set_fowner routine to return void we could change __f_setown to return void as well and be done with it, but without that this looks too dangerous. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-cifs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
