In order to be consistent with our typical access control ordering,
please move the security_sb_statfs() call down to here, after the
capability checks.
I've moved the security_sb_statfs() calls accordingly.
Okay, good.  Did I miss a comment or a patch where that happened?  I
looked over the patchset and comments yesterday and didn't recall
seeing anything about shuffling the access control checks.
Gentle ping on this.  I'm asking because I know there have been issues
lately with the lists and some mail providers and I want to make sure
I'm not missing anything, I double checked lore again and didn't see
anything there either, but I might be missing it.
Sorry, I'm traveling so I just didn't see this. Please see:

I've folded the fixup into these patches. I probably just accidently
dropped the diff from my reply.
