From 1bd5191d9f5d1928c4efdf604c4164b04bb88dbe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miklos Szeredi Date: Wed, 21 May 2008 19:15:03 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] [patch 05/14] hpfs: dont call permission() hpfs_unlink() calls permission() prior to truncating the file. HPFS doesn't define a .permission method, so replace with explicit call to generic_permission(). This is equivalent, except that devcgroup_inode_permission() and security_inode_permission() are not called. The truncation is just an implementation detail of the unlink, so these security checks are unnecessary. I suspect that even calling generic_permission() is unnecessary, since we shouldn't mind if the file isn't writable. But I leave that to the maintainer to decide.
