Name
inode_permission —
check for access rights to a given inode
Synopsis
int inode_permission ( | struct inode * inode, |
| | int mask); |
Arguments
inode
inode to check permission on
mask
right to check for (MAY_READ, MAY_WRITE, MAY_EXEC)
Description
Used to check for read/write/execute permissions on an inode.
We use “fsuid” for this, letting us set arbitrary permissions
for filesystem access without changing the “normal” uids which
are used for other things.
