From 3298cf37bee59c66a51da0cea8bae0d0418e27fd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kara Date: Thu, 3 Apr 2014 14:46:32 -0700 Subject: fanotify: remove useless bypass_perm check The prepare_for_access_response() function checks whether group->fanotify_data.bypass_perm is set. However this test can never be true because prepare_for_access_response() is called only from fanotify_read() which means fanotify group is alive with an active fd while bypass_perm is set from fanotify_release() when all file descriptors pointing to the group are closed and the group is going away.
