Subject: VFS: Make link_path_walk set LOOKUP_CONTINUE before calling permission().
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=cdce5d6b94b6182f6d8a5b7b52923933e98cbc92;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

VFS: Make link_path_walk set LOOKUP_CONTINUE before calling permission().

 This will allow nfs_permission() to perform additional optimizations when
 walking the path, by folding the ACCESS(MAY_EXEC) call on the directory
 into the lookup revalidation.
