If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 11c2a8700cdcabf9b639b7204a1e38e2a0b6798e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christian Brauner <brauner@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 17 Oct 2022 17:06:34 +0200 Subject: attr: add in_group_or_capable() From: Christian Brauner <brauner@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 11c2a8700cdcabf9b639b7204a1e38e2a0b6798e upstream. In setattr_{copy,prepare}() we need to perform the same permission checks to determine whether we need to drop the setgid bit or not. Instead of open-coding it twice add a simple helper the encapsulates the logic. We will reuse this helpers to make dropping the setgid bit during write operations more consistent in a follow up patch.
