Hello, this patch series is my attempt to fix an issue when user can clear capabilites of arbitrary file he can look up for example by running chown on it (this got assigned CVE-2015-1350). The problem is that we call security_inode_killpriv() before checking permissions in inode_change_ok(). This patch set moves that call into inode_change_ok() after permissions are checked - the only trouble is that we need to give dentry instead of inode there and that is not completely trivial in some cases - I'm still missing a review from Ceph people to verify I didn't miss anything. Anyway, I guess the changes are fine for merging. Al, you please merge the patches? Thanks!
