    [PATCH] fix MAY_CHDIR/MAY_ACCESS/LOOKUP_ACCESS mess · a110343f
    Al Viro authored
    * MAY_CHDIR is redundant - it's an equivalent of MAY_ACCESS
    * MAY_ACCESS on fuse should affect only the last step of pathname resolution
    * fchdir() and chroot() should pass MAY_ACCESS, for the same reason why
      chdir() needs that.
    * now that we pass MAY_ACCESS explicitly in all cases, LOOKUP_ACCESS can be
      removed; it has no business being in nameidata.
