[PATCH v19 4/4] overlayfs: inode_owner_or_capable called during execv

From: David Anderson <hidden>
Date: 2021-11-17 01:58:48
Also in: linux-fsdevel, linux-unionfs, lkml, selinux
Subsystem: filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), overlay filesystem, the rest · Maintainers: Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Miklos Szeredi, Amir Goldstein, Linus Torvalds

From: John Stultz <redacted>

Using old_creds as an indication that we are not overriding the
credentials, bypass call to inode_owner_or_capable.  This solves
a problem with all execv calls being blocked when using the caller's
credentials.
