[RESEND PATCH] fs: Validate flags and capabilities before looking up path in ksys_umount

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

 



ksys_umount was refactored to into split into another function
(path_umount) to enable sharing code. This changed the order that flags and
permissions are validated in, and made it so that user_path_at was called
before validating flags and capabilities.

Unfortunately, libfuse2[1] and libmount[2] rely on the old flag validation
behaviour to determine whether or not the kernel supports UMOUNT_NOFOLLOW.
The other path that this validation is being checked on is
init_umount->path_umount->can_umount. That's all internal to the kernel.
