Subject: Make 'check_acl()' a first-class filesystem op
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5909ccaa300a4a834ffa275327af4df0b9cb5295;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

Make 'check_acl()' a first-class filesystem op

This is stage one in flattening out the callchains for the common
permission testing.  Rather than have most filesystem implement their
own inode->i_op->permission function that just calls back down to the
VFS layers 'generic_permission()' with the per-filesystem ACL checking
function, the filesystem can just expose its 'check_acl' function
directly, and let the VFS layer do everything for it.

This is all just preparatory - no filesystem actually enables this yet.
