    VFS: Fix access("file", X_OK) in the presence of ACLs · a343bb77
    Trond Myklebust authored
    Currently, the access() call will return incorrect information on NFS if
    there exists an ACL that grants execute access to the user on a regular
    file. The reason the information is incorrect is that the VFS overrides
    this execute access in open_exec() by checking (inode->i_mode & 0111).
    
    This patch propagates the VFS execute bit check back into the generic
    permission() call.
