Sounds good:

That is what it looks like to me.

I am hoping to take a deep dive into this function after I finish with
bprm_fill_uid (the patches that were dropped).

My brain bends on little details like is_setid not testing if the
excutable was suid or sgid, but instead is testing something close but
unrelated.

I hope that when the dust clears the function can become a
straightforward implementation of the capability equations.
We will see.
