Subject: fs: switch order of CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE and CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH checks
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2a4c22426955d4fc04069811997b7390c0fb858e;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

fs: switch order of CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE and CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH checks

generic_permission() presently checks CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE prior to
CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH.  This can cause misleading audit messages when
using a LSM such as SELinux or AppArmor, since CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE
may not be required for the operation.  Flip the order of the
tests so that CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE is only checked when required for
the operation.
