From 8bb79224b87aab92071e94d46e70bd160d89bf34 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Wed, 16 Jul 2008 09:51:03 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] permission checks for chdir need special treatment only on the last step ... so we ought to pass MAY_CHDIR to vfs_permission() instead of having it triggered on every step of preceding pathname resolution. LOOKUP_CHDIR is killed by that.
