    [patch 05/14] hpfs: dont call permission() · 1bd5191d
    Miklos Szeredi 提交于
    hpfs_unlink() calls permission() prior to truncating the file.  HPFS
    doesn't define a .permission method, so replace with explicit call to
    generic_permission().
    
    This is equivalent, except that devcgroup_inode_permission() and
    security_inode_permission() are not called.
    
    The truncation is just an implementation detail of the unlink, so
    these security checks are unnecessary.
    
    I suspect that even calling generic_permission() is unnecessary, since
    we shouldn't mind if the file isn't writable.  But I leave that to the
    maintainer to decide.
