From 6de37b6dc085e7c5e092b69289af66876526da44 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Tue, 10 Jul 2018 13:12:05 -0400 Subject: pass creds to get_empty_filp(), make sure dentry_open() passes the right creds ... and rename get_empty_filp() to alloc_empty_file(). dentry_open() gets creds as argument, but the only thing that sees those is security_file_open() - file->f_cred still ends up with current_cred(). For almost all callers it's the same thing, but there are several broken cases.
