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/pioctl.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'fs/coda/pioctl.c') diff --git a/fs/coda/pioctl.c b/fs/coda/pioctl.c index c51365422aa8..773f2ce9aa06 100644 --- a/fs/coda/pioctl.c +++ b/fs/coda/pioctl.c @@ -43,7 +43,7 @@ const struct file_operations coda_ioctl_operations = { /* the coda pioctl inode ops */ static int coda_ioctl_permission(struct inode *inode, int mask) { - return 0; + return (mask & MAY_EXEC) ? -EACCES : 0; } static int coda_pioctl(struct inode * inode, struct file * filp, -- cgit v1.2.3
