From 5909ccaa300a4a834ffa275327af4df0b9cb5295 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Fri, 28 Aug 2009 11:51:25 -0700 Subject: Make 'check_acl()' a first-class filesystem op This is stage one in flattening out the callchains for the common permission testing. Rather than have most filesystem implement their own inode->i_op->permission function that just calls back down to the VFS layers 'generic_permission()' with the per-filesystem ACL checking function, the filesystem can just expose its 'check_acl' function directly, and let the VFS layer do everything for it. This is all just preparatory - no filesystem actually enables this yet.
