Subject: security: prevent permission checking of file removal via sysfs_remove_group()
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=057f6c019fff9ee290641d50647359bb8898918e;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

security: prevent permission checking of file removal via sysfs_remove_group()

Prevent permission checking from being performed when the kernel wants to
unconditionally remove a sysfs group, by introducing an kernel-only variant
of lookup_one_len(), lookup_one_len_kern().

Additionally, as sysfs_remove_group() does not check the return value of
the lookup before using it, a BUG_ON has been added to pinpoint the cause
of any problems potentially caused by this (and as a form of annotation).
