From cb9179ead0aa0e3b7b4087cdba59baf16bbeef6d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Fri, 28 Aug 2009 11:08:31 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Simplify exec_permission_lite(), part 3 Don't call down to the generic inode_permission() function just to call the inode-specific permission function - just do it directly. The generic inode_permission() code does things like checking MAY_WRITE and devcgroup_inode_permission(), neither of which are relevant for the light pathname walk permission checks (we always do just MAY_EXEC, and the inode is never a special device).
