From 7f5ff766a7babd72fc192125e12ef5570effff4c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dmitri Monakhov Date: Mon, 1 Dec 2008 14:34:56 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] kill suid bit only for regular files We don't have to do it because it is useless for non regular files. In fact block device may trigger this path without dentry->d_inode->i_mutex.
