From 01de85e057328ecbef36e108673b1e81059d54c1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Tue, 17 Oct 2006 19:50:36 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Add lockless helpers for remove_suid() Right now users have to grab i_mutex before calling remove_suid(), in the unlikely event that a call to ->setattr() may be needed. Split up the function in two parts: - One to check if we need to remove suid - One to actually remove it The first we can call lockless.
