[RFC][PATCH 1/7] fs: initialize file->f_cred with credentials provided

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

 



The 'f_cred' field of a file descriptor is initialized with the credentials
of the 'current' process except in the case they are provided to the
function dentry_open(). The get_empty_filp() function's definition has been
modified to take these credentials set as argument.
