Subject: [PATCH RESEND v17 04/13] namei: allow set_root() to produce errors
Date: Wed, 20 Nov 2019 16:06:22 +1100
Message-ID: <20191120050631.12816-5-cyphar@cyphar.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20191120050631.12816-1-cyphar@cyphar.com>

For LOOKUP_BENEATH and LOOKUP_IN_ROOT it is necessary to ensure that
set_root() is never called, and thus (for hardening purposes) it should
return an error rather than permit a breakout from the root. In
addition, move all of the repetitive set_root() calls to nd_jump_root().
