From f696a3659fc4b3a3bf4bc83d9dbec5e5a2ffd929 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miklos Szeredi Date: Thu, 31 Jul 2008 13:41:58 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] move executable checking into ->permission() For execute permission on a regular files we need to check if file has any execute bits at all, regardless of capabilites. This check is normally performed by generic_permission() but was also added to the case when the filesystem defines its own ->permission() method. In the latter case the filesystem should be responsible for performing this check. Move the check from inode_permission() inside filesystems which are not calling generic_permission(). Create a helper function execute_ok() that returns true if the inode is a directory or if any execute bits are present in i_mode. Also fix up the following code: - coda control file is never executable - sysctl files are never executable - hfs_permission seems broken on MAY_EXEC, remove - hfsplus_permission is eqivalent to generic_permission(), remove Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi --- fs/coda/dir.c | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) (limited to 'fs/coda/dir.c') diff --git a/fs/coda/dir.c b/fs/coda/dir.c index c5916228243c..75b1fa90b2cb 100644 --- a/fs/coda/dir.c +++ b/fs/coda/dir.c @@ -146,6 +146,9 @@ int coda_permission(struct inode *inode, int mask) if (!mask) return 0; + if ((mask & MAY_EXEC) && !execute_ok(inode)) + return -EACCES; + lock_kernel(); if (coda_cache_check(inode, mask)) -- cgit v1.2.1
