Subject: CRED: Must initialise the new creds in prepare_kernel_cred()
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=43529c97122f2c851126447963eedcb8cba74fbe;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

CRED: Must initialise the new creds in prepare_kernel_cred()

The newly allocated creds in prepare_kernel_cred() must be initialised
before get_uid() and get_group_info() can access them.  They should be
copied from the old credentials.
