The patch titled vfs: define new lookup flag for chdir has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is vfs-define-new-lookup-flag-for-chdir.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: vfs: define new lookup flag for chdir From: Miklos Szeredi <miklos@xxxxxxxxxx> In the "operation does permission checking" model used by fuse, chdir permission is not checked, since there's no chdir method. For this case set a lookup flag, which will be passed to ->permission(), so fuse can distinguish it from permission checks for other operations.
