From 22c2c5d75e6ad4b9ac41269476b32ba8c9fe263f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Mon, 26 Jun 2006 00:25:45 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] proc: Kill proc_mem_inode_operations The inode operations only exist to support the proc_permission function. Currently mem_read and mem_write have all the same permission checks as ptrace. The fs check makes no sense in this context, and we can trivially get around it by calling ptrace. So simply the code by killing the strange weird case. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
