[PATCH v3] fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c: always initialize i_uid/i_gid

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

 



Commit 5ec27ec735ba ("fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c: fix the default values of i_uid/i_gid on /proc/sys inodes.")
added defaults for i_uid/i_gid when set_ownership() is not implemented.
It missed to also adjust net_ctl_set_ownership() to use the same default
values in case the computation of a better value fails.

Instead always initialize i_uid/i_gid inside the sysfs core so
set_ownership() can safely skip setting them.
