And an extra ) to make it compile wouldn't hurt either... There also appears to need to be a check that we don't gain any capabilities. We also need a check so that you don't gain any capabilities, and possibly a few other things. So I suspect we want a check something like: if ((new_cred->securebits != current_cred->securebits) || (new_cred->cap_inheritable != current_cred->cap_inheritable) || (new_cred->cap_permitted != current_cred->cap_permitted) || (new_cred->cap_effective != current_cred->cap_effective) || (new_cred->cap_bset != current_cred->cap_bset) || (new_cred->jit_keyring != current_cred->jit_keyring) || (new_cred->session_keyring != current_cred->session_keyring) || (new_cred->process_keyring != current_cred->process_keyring) || (new_cred->thread_keyring != current_cred->thread_keyring) || (new_cred->request_keyring != current_cred->request_keyring) || (new_cred->security != current_cred->security) || (new_cred->user_ns != current_cred->user_ns)) { return -EPERM; } Eric -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
