From b1085ba80cd2784400a7beec3fda5099198ed01c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lino Sanfilippo Date: Fri, 5 Nov 2010 17:05:27 +0100 Subject: fanotify: if set by user unset FMODE_NONOTIFY before fsnotify_perm() is called Unsetting FMODE_NONOTIFY in fsnotify_open() is too late, since fsnotify_perm() is called before. If FMODE_NONOTIFY is set fsnotify_perm() will skip permission checks, so a user can still disable permission checks by setting this flag in an open() call. This patch corrects this by unsetting the flag before fsnotify_perm is called.
