sysctl: Don't look at ctl_name and strategy in the generic code

2009-11-11T08:53:43Z

The ctl_name and strategy fields are unused, now that sys_sysctl is a compatibility wrapper around /proc/sys. No longer looking at them in the generic code is effectively what we are doing now and provides the guarantee that during further cleanups we can just remove references to those fields and everything will work ok.

sysctl: remove "struct file *" argument of ->proc_handler

2009-09-24T14:21:04Z

It's unused. It isn't needed -- read or write flag is already passed and sysctl shouldn't care about the rest. It _was_ used in two places at arch/frv for some reason.

zero i_uid/i_gid on inode allocation

2009-01-05T16:54:28Z

... and don't bother in callers. Don't bother with zeroing i_blocks, while we are at it - it's already been zeroed. i_mode is not worth the effort; it has no common default value. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

[PATCH] move executable checking into ->permission()

2008-10-23T09:13:25Z

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
