[PATCH 14/13] sysfs: sysfs_setattr remove unnecessary permission check.

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

 



inode_change_ok already clears the SGID bit when necessary so there is
no reason for sysfs_setattr to carry code to do the same, and it is
good to kill the extra copy because when I moved the code, I goofed
and in certain corner cases the code will look at the wrong gid.
