From 8c744fb83da0771afa04695028e3550b798dad90 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Hellwig Date: Tue, 8 Nov 2005 21:35:04 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] add a file_permission helper A few more callers of permission() just want to check for a different access pattern on an already open file. This patch adds a wrapper for permission() that takes a file in preparation of per-mount read-only support and to clean up the callers a little. The helper is not intended for new code, everything without the interface set in stone should use vfs_permission() Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- drivers/block/floppy.c | 3 +-- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'drivers/block/floppy.c') diff --git a/drivers/block/floppy.c b/drivers/block/floppy.c index dd1935d5542..28002de783b 100644 --- a/drivers/block/floppy.c +++ b/drivers/block/floppy.c @@ -3776,8 +3776,7 @@ static int floppy_open(struct inode *inode, struct file *filp) /* Allow ioctls if we have write-permissions even if read-only open. * Needed so that programs such as fdrawcmd still can work on write * protected disks */ - if (filp->f_mode & 2 - || permission(filp->f_dentry->d_inode, 2, NULL) == 0) + if ((filp->f_mode & FMODE_WRITE) || !file_permission(filp, MAY_WRITE)) filp->private_data = (void *)8; if (UFDCS->rawcmd == 1) -- cgit v1.2.3
