From 638fa202cdb207083a12d6f73e313605a8fc1037 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Roland McGrath Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2008 01:01:38 -0700 Subject: procfs: mem permission cleanup This cleans up the permission checks done for /proc/PID/mem i/o calls. It puts all the logic in a new function, check_mem_permission(). The old code repeated the (!MAY_PTRACE(task) || !ptrace_may_attach(task)) magical expression multiple times. The new function does all that work in one place, with clear comments. The old code called security_ptrace() twice on successful checks, once in MAY_PTRACE() and once in __ptrace_may_attach(). Now it's only called once, and only if all other checks have succeeded.
