From 3295514841c2112d94451ba5deaf54f5afb78ea9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Sun, 7 Aug 2011 18:55:11 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] fix rcu annotations noise in cred.h task->cred is declared as __rcu, and access to other tasks' ->cred is, indeed, protected. Access to current->cred does not need rcu_dereference() at all, since only the task itself can change its ->cred. sparse, of course, has no way of knowing that... Add force-cast in current_cred(), make current_fsuid() et.al. use it.
