Subject: [PATCH 3/5] fs: Provide function telling whether file_remove_privs() will do anything
Date: Tue,  3 Mar 2015 11:38:37 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1425379119-3773-4-git-send-email-jack@suse.cz> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1425379119-3773-1-git-send-email-jack@suse.cz>

Provide function telling whether file_remove_privs() will do anything.
Currently we only have should_remove_suid() and that does something
slightly different.
